The IRSF will operate in accordance with those generally accepted principles necessary to obtain a 4-star Charity Navigator rating.
This means that IRSF will be rated on the following criteria:
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCY
- Performance Expenses
- Administrative Expenses
- Fundraising Expenses
- Fundraising Efficiency
ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY
- Primary Revenue Growth
- Program Expenses Growth
- Working Capital Ration
They also look at the following considerations in their evaluation process:
- Donor Privacy Policy
- CEO Pay
- Income Statements
- Mission
- Online Donations
Based on these criteria Charity Navigator gives a star rating to each charity. The 4-star rating is the most difficult to achieve.
Charity Navigator’s methodology:
"Charity Navigator works to guide intelligent giving. Our goal is to help people give to charity with confidence. At the same time, we aim to help charities by shining lights on truly effective organizations. In doing so, we believe we can help ensure that charitable giving keeps pace with the growing need for charitable programs.
Our approach to rating charities is driven by those two objectives: helping givers and celebrating the work of charities. The pages listed below describe how we select charities to evaluate, how we classify and rate them, and what givers can conclude based on our ratings."
