This organization seems to be caught up in the web of "Pay to Play" scandals surrounding the Clinton Foundation. Charity Navigator, which a has a small staff so they can't say it happened without their knowing, awarded the Clinton Foundation a 4 star award - their highest. They failed to disclose the fact they received a free ($20,000 value) membership to the Clinton Foundation which they used to connect with the elite at Clinton Foundation sponsored events. As a rating organization they need to be independent (i.e. no free stuff) from the charities they are rating.

I routinely get unsolicited charitable appeals in my mail. If I think the charity maybe worthwhile, I use this website to research the charity further. In seconds, I can find out how much is spent on professional fundraisers, administrative expenses, executive salaries, and on the charities mission.
