Demystifying the Charity Navigator rating system: How to demonstrate trust to potential donors (with special guest Laura Andes)

Did you know that Charity Navigator has significantly evolved its rating system over the past three years? It now extends beyond just financial health and accountability. Charities are evaluated on a broader spectrum of criteria, including impact, leadership, feedback practices, adaptability, and much more.
‍
As Charity Navigator’s rating system now includes a wider range of factors, nonprofits need to know what it takes to excel under these new criteria.
‍
Watch Lauren Winther-Hansen, FreeWill’s Nonprofit Training Lead, and special guest Laura Andes, Charity Navigator’s Chief Program Officer, walk through the Charity Navigator rating system, its value to nonprofits, and how your organization can adopt best practices to improve effectiveness and convey trust to attract new donors.

In this webinar, we covered:

• Charity Navigator’s new Encompass Rating System
• Why a higher score is essential for your organization
• The relationship between ratings and end-of-year giving results
• Best practices to earn a more holistic score
