Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact & Results beacon 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.
We recognize that not all metrics and beacons equally predict a charity’s success. The percentage each beacon contributes to the organization’s overall rating depends on the number of beacons an organization has earned.
Use the tool below to select different beacons to see how the weighting shifts when only one, two, or three beacons are earned.
Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Results. 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.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

What are this organization’s external mobilizaton efforts?
Within the last two years, we began operating a program to found local chapters of Rehumanize in communities across the continent, so far including Toronto and Washington DC. We provide resources, materials, and trainings for these groups as well as helping them get programming off the ground. We have also started a similar program to provide resources and special consideration for speaking engagements for already existing groups around the country.
Adaptability Story 30/30 points Adaptability Story 30/30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
With the advent of the Biden administration, we updated the topics we focus on to include more advocacy against war, capital punishment, and experimentation on embryo tissue. Also, our former Executive Director took a position as our new Director of Publications to focus on long-form writing. One of the major barriers to people learning about the Consistent Life Ethic is the lack of writings which introduce it at a basic level. With her new book, that will change to some degree.
