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

    The mission of Charlie Mike is to save the lives of military veterans still carrying the unseen wounds of combat. We rescue, rehabilitate, and train shelter dogs to serve as companions and provide emotional support to veterans. We also provide veterans with the opportunity to work with horses as a therapeutic approach to cope with their invisible wounds.

    Adaptability Practices

    The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year
    Given the softening in the donor space, we have pivoted to offering a public-facing paid board and train option that gives non-veterans access to top-of-the line dog training. The fee from this paid program will then fund the veteran-focused Canine Battle Buddy program.
