Four Stars, Five Years Running

For the fifth year in a row, American Refugee Committee has attained the coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency! The 4-star rating is the highest possible rating – only 6% of the organizations evaluated by Charity Navigator, the leading industry evaluator in America, have received at least 5 consecutive 4-star evaluations. This exceptional rating “sets ARC apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness,” says Charity Navigator President/CEO Michael Thatcher.

On behalf of Charity Navigator, I wish to congratulate American Refugee Committee on attaining the coveted 4-star rating for demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.

– Michael Thatcher, President & CEO

ARC is also recognized as a highly efficient charity by another popular watchdog group – CharityWatch – garnering an A+ for meeting their benchmarks for governance and transparency.

We take our responsibility to donors and the people we serve incredibly seriously. 91% of donations go to support our programs overseas. And we’re able to leverage every $1 we raise into $14 more from our institutional partners.

In addition, ARC holds a seal of approval from the Better Business Bureau, and meets the standards of the Charities Review Council. And NGO Advisor also selected ARC from thousands of NGOs for our outstanding impact, innovation and governance to be listed in its list of the Top 200 NGOs worldwide.
