Charity Navigator Now Agrees: The Clinton Foundation Is One of the Best Charities in the US
Our article about CharityWatch’s “A” rating for the Clinton Foundation was one of our most popular posts in August, garnering more than 15,000 social media shares. But many people of the Trumpian persuasion tried to push back by claiming that the other major charity rating organization, Charity Navigator, had listed the Clinton Foundation as “unrated.”
Even though the description at Charity Navigator stated very clearly that the lack of a rating was not an indication there was something untrustworthy or negative about the Clinton Foundation, of course conservatives tried to imply otherwise. Because that’s what they do.
Well, now we have an update to this story.
Charity Navigator has just given a rating to the Clinton Foundation — and as with CharityWatch, it’s one of their highest ratings possible, four stars, with an overall score of 94.74 out of 100.
By comparison, another top-rated US charity, the American Red Cross, gets only three stars and an 85.01 score.
So when people call for the Clinton Foundation to be shut down because there’s an “appearance of impropriety,” they’re prioritizing manufactured “optics” over actual good work that benefits millions of people around the world.
