Charity Navigator is collaborating with
GuideStar,
GlobalGiving,
Classy,
and ImpactMatters
to display impact-related information for rated nonprofits. However, not all rated nonprofits have provided impact information
yet. Each of these partners has supplied Charity Navigator with the impact information they receive
directly from nonprofits. Submissions must be made on our partner's websites and we plan to update
the display of this information regularly.
