    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 & Measurement 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.

    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.
     
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    Equity Policies & Processes (3/7)

    We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.

    We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.

    We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.

    We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.

    We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.

    We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.

    We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
