CharityWatch works to uncover and report on wrongdoing in the nonprofit sector by conducting in-depth analyses of the audited financial statements, tax forms, fundraising contracts, and other reporting of nonprofits, issuing charity ratings on an "A+" to "F" scale. Unlike many other online sources of charity data that function as crowdsourcing websites or quasi-trade associations for charities, CharityWatch is fully committed to advocating for the interests of the donating public. Our ratings are not derived from algorithms or other largely automated systems that take the reporting of charities at face value without adequate analysis.
