Exciting New Strategic Partnership to Put Impact at the Heart of Giving

 

Charity Navigator is joining forces with True Impact to address the long-standing challenge of impact reporting in the nonprofit sector.

 

October 21, 2025, New York, NY – 

 

At Charity Navigator, we have spent over two decades pioneering the field of charity evaluation, with the mission of making impactful giving easier for all. We recognize that for too long, the nonprofit sector has faced a fundamental challenge: the burden of impact reporting. It continues to be expensive and difficult for many nonprofit organizations. When nonprofits struggle to explain their work, donors are left without the information they need to give with confidence. That's why we're excited to announce a powerful new partnership with True Impact.

 

True Impact brings a proven methodology, rigor, and 20 years of experience guiding nonprofits to articulate and measure their outcomes with a user-friendly reporting platform. Through this collaboration, nonprofits will soon have access to True Impact’s guided reporting tool directly in Charity Navigator’s Nonprofit Portal.

 

This alliance is uniquely designed to solve the problems that have stalled previous attempts at scalable impact reporting.

 

Solving a Long-Standing Problem

 

For years, the sector has attempted to collect and report impact outcomes at scale, but these initiatives have often fallen short. They relied on publicly available data or machine-driven tools, lacked the context to make effective comparisons, and oversimplified nonprofit result analysis.

 

As the nation’s largest nonprofit evaluator, we have the reach and trusted infrastructure to address these very issues. Donors rely on our ratings and alerts to find the most trustworthy organizations, and nonprofits already manage their profiles on our site. This new partnership is the next step in our leadership to ensure that every giving decision is guided by data and transparency.

 

A Scalable System

 

This collaboration uniquely combines our credibility, reach, and infrastructure with True Impact’s methodological rigor. The result is the sector’s first scalable system for outcomes reporting, where nonprofits can report once and have their analyzed results guide decision-making for thousands of funders across multiple platforms.

 

This partnership is a powerful catalyst for the entire charitable sector. By giving nonprofits a clear solution for articulating their impact and empowering donors with the data they need, we are ensuring that transparency and effectiveness are at the heart of every giving decision.
