Top Rated Charities List

Groups included on the InfoTubez Top-Rated list generally spend 75% or more of their budgets on programs, spend $25 or less to raise $100 in public support, do not hold excessive assets in reserve, have met InfoTubez governance benchmarks, and receive "open-book" status for disclosure of basic financial information and documents to InfoTubez. Please see the Criteria section of the website for more information on the rating criteria and methodology that InfoTubez adheres to.

Because many factors determine a worthy charity, we at InfoTubez suggest that you use the ratings on this page not as the sole determining factor in your decision, but rather as an aid.

This list is subject to change depending on the information InfoTubez receives concerning charitable organizations.
