Advisory Panel
Charity Navigator is committed to expanding our rating system beyond the financial analysis we currently provide (see A Measure of Outcome). Specifically, we believe that there are three components to making a wise social investment.
- First, a social investor must determine whether the charity is financially healthy.
- Second, they should review the charity’s accountability and transparency practices.
- Third, they need to assess the charity’s ability to deliver social value (a sustained change for the better for people and communities who receive services).
Of these three components, Charity Navigator currently addresses the first, intends to begin to address the second by 2010 and hopes to tackle the third in the very near future.
The following members of our Advisory Panel will be our sounding board as we endeavor to expand our system of rating charities and improve our current financial measures. Together, these advisors have a vast experience and expertise in nonprofit finance, accountability and outcome measurement. They were also selected for their dedication to improving the philanthropic sector.
