Using objective, data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations their highest rating of 4-stars.  They rate non-profits on their financial accountability and transparency – evaluating their business practices, governance, ethical practices, measures of openness, spending habits, and ethical best practices for fund management. Charity Navigator provides donors the information needed to instill confidence in their charitable decisions.

“United Way of the Wabash Valley’s exceptional 4-star rating shows that the organization adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way,” according to Michael Thatcher, President & CEO of Charity Navigator. “Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of our 4-star rating.
