Rotary Foundation Receives Coveted 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator

The Rotary Foundation earned a "4-Star" rating from Charity Navigator, www.charitynavigator.org , the largest and most prestigious independent evaluator of nonprofits in the United States.  The "4-Star" rating, the highest that Charity Navigator awards, recognizes sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.  Charity Navigator evaluates thousands of non profits each year, and only one of four earns 4 stars.

This year's top distinction marks the Foundation's sixth straight, placing it in the top 3 percent of US based charities.  In a letter to the Foundation, Ken Berger, the president of Charity Navigator, wrote, "This 'exceptional' designation differentiates The Rotary Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."
