At the turn of the century, Pat and Marion Dugan were
interested in significantly increasing their charitable/social investing. To
assure their donations were going to healthy organizations, Pat and Marion could
have hired a team of personal financial advisors to help them. Fortunately, they
didn’t forget all of the donors who were also trying identify the most
financially healthy organizations in the United States.
In 2001, Pat and Marion Dugan founded Charity Navigator. They
envisioned an unbiased and transparent source of information that would assist
American donors in finding a financially healthy and transparent charity to
support. In combatting fraudulence in
the nonprofit sector, Pat created his own cause: Giving everyday donors information, so they
can make informed giving decisions.
Fourteen years later, that information remains available and
free to all through Charity Navigator’s website. Today, Pat’s 80th
birthday, we wanted to take a moment to shout “Happy Birthday” to Pat Dugan,
our co-founder, a visionary, and all around great guy.
Happy birthday, Pat!
