Rating Information

Not currently rated

Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact assessment to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.

See rating report below to learn why this organization is not currently eligible.

Historical Ratings

Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.

Review Before Proceeding—Confirmed Delinquency

This organization appears on the most recent listing of nonprofits that are delinquent with California state registrations

For more information about our alerts methodology, see here.

Please Note: In compliance with California Assembly Bill 488, we have disabled donations to this charity on our platform at this time.

Accountability & Finance

Not Currently Scored

The Cousteau Society cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having 3 years of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data (990EZ, 990N, 990PF does not qualify).

To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS form 990.

Charity Navigator currently only has 3 years of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for The Cousteau Society under the EIN: 23-7337664.

Before Charity Navigator can evaluate The Cousteau Society, The Cousteau Society will need to e-file for additional fiscal years.
