A charity looks for Effectiveness, Impact, a solid track record, TRANSPARENCY, and accountability. There are several charity vetting systems, each taking time, forms, and numerous updates and frequent changes. A donor questioned us why are we not rated on a particular site, yet a charity must pay to be ‘rated’ on that site, hence, here’s us on probably the best known and respected Candid Guidestar site that is free for all charities to be rated (Hooray). We achieved a Gold rating. Being grossly understaffed and with several large scale projects is no excuse for not being visible on the web, but paying for a good rating is not good use of a donor’s contribution.
