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.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!
No One Left Behind Inc. cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having 3 years of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data. But please note, that the IRS is significantly delayed in processing nonprofit's annual tax filings. That may mean that this entity has electronically filed additional Forms 990 but they have yet to be processed and made public by the IRS.
To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Finance & Accountability beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS 990.
Charity Navigator currently only has 3 years of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for No One Left Behind Inc. under the EIN: 47-1251659.
Before Charity Navigator can evaluate No One Left Behind Inc., No One Left Behind Inc. will need to e-file for additional fiscal years.

This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
No One Left Behind Inc. reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
we did not see an impact
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
COVID-19 prevented us from in-person gatherings so we forewent our annual fundraiser and focused on Zoom meetings to thank our donors.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
COVID-19 forced us to innovate. All our programs feature direct deposits now. We initially relied on sending checks through our bank, but the Post Office delays made us adapt and create a more streamlined process.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
We moved all meetings to a virtual environment. This increased our operational tempo and kept the mission on track.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
We will continue to provide clients with financial aid via direct deposit. As a national nonprofit, we will continue to meet virtually on a regular basis.
Not Currently Scored
No One Left Behind Inc. cannot currently be evaluated by our Impact & Results methodology because either (A) it is eligible, but we have not yet received data; (B) we have not yet developed an algorithm to estimate its programmatic impact; (C) its programs are not direct services; or (D) it is not heavily reliant on contributions from individual donors.
Note: The absence of a score does not indicate a positive or negative assessment, it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated the organization.
