Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charitable organization evaluator, has awarded Shriners Hospitals for Children® with its prestigious 4-star award. Such distinction recognizes Shriners Hospitals for Children for its sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. Only 25 percent of the evaluated charities have received the coveted 4-star award, thus signaling that Shriners Hospitals for Children outperforms the majority of charities in America.
“On behalf of Shriners Hospitals for Children, we are pleased to receive the 4-star distinction from Charity Navigator,” said John McCabe, executive vice president. “For more than 90 years, it has been a concerted effort to remain a prudent and responsible steward of our mission and charitable contributions.”
Charity Navigator applies data-driven analysis to provide donors with the essential information needed to make educated charitable choices. This unique and highly praised approach takes into account organization spending per dollars raised, program spending versus administrative and fundraising expenditures as well as the organization’s long-term financial health. Based upon the results across the various categories, Charity Navigator will assign the appropriate rating, ranging from one to four.
Douglas E. Maxwell, chairman of the board of trustees remarked, “Receipt of the 4-star award directly compliments our unwavering commitment to providing expert specialty pediatric care across all 22 locations of Shriners Hospitals for Children regardless of the families’ ability to pay for services.
