Islamic Relief USA Awarded
Charity Navigator’s 4-Star Rating
Buena Park, CA: For the fourth consecutive
year, Islamic Relief USA has been awarded a 4-star rating
by Charity Navigator, the largest charity evaluator in the
United States. Out of the 5,131 charities evaluated by Charity
Navigator as of February 1, 2007, only 4% have received four
consecutive 4-star evaluations.
Throughout the years, Islamic Relief has maintained its high
standards of fiscal responsibility and transparency. In the
past four years that Islamic Relief has been evaluated by
Charity Navigator, it has received their highest rating.
In a letter to Islamic Relief, President of Charity Navigator,
Trent Stamp, commended the accomplishment: “We have
calculated a new rating for your organization based on the
most current financial information available. We are happy
to announce that Islamic Relief USA has earned a 4-star rating
for its ability to efficiently allocate and grow its finances.
Less than a quarter of the charities we’ve rated have
received our highest rating, indicating that Islamic Relief
USA outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to
operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This
‘exceptional’ rating from Charity Navigator differentiates
Islamic Relief USA from its peers and proves that it’s
worthy of the public’s trust.”
Charity Navigator aims to “help charitable givers make
intelligent giving decisions by providing information on over
five thousand charities and by evaluating the financial health
of each of these charities.” Their free charity ratings
can be found on the Web at www.charitynavigator.org.
Islamic Relief USA’s Chairman of the Board Dr. Mohamed
Amr Attawia said in a statement:
“We are grateful to God Almighty for this rating and
thank our donors, partners and volunteers for helping us achieve
this accomplishment for the fourth year in a row. We remain
committed towards helping the poor and needy domestically
and abroad in the most fiscally responsible way.”
