Dear Teresa Rhodes:
On behalf of Charity Navigator, I wish to congratulate Keep Indianapolis
Beautiful on achieving our coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal
management.
As the nonprofit sector continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, savvy
donors are demanding more accountability, transparency and quantifiable
results from the charities they choose to support with their hard-earned
dollars. In this competitive philanthropic marketplace, Charity Navigator,
America’s premier charity evaluator, highlights the fine work of efficient
charities such as your own and provides donors with essential information
needed to give them greater confidence in the charitable choices they
make.
Based on the most recent financial information available, we have
calculated a new rating for your organization. We are proud to announce
Keep Indianapolis beautiful has earned our second consecutive 4-star
rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only
15% of the charities we’ve rated have received at least 2 consecutive
4-star evaluations, indicating that Keep Indianapolis Beautiful
outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the
most fiscally responsible way possible. This “exceptional” designation
from Charity Navigator differentiates Keep Indianapolis Beautiful from its
peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.
The New York Times, NPR, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy,
among others, have profiles and celebrated our unique method of applying
data-driven analysis to the charitable sector. We evaluate ten times more
charities than our nearest competitor and currently attract more visitors
to our website than all other charity rating groups combined, thus making
us the leading charity evaluator in America. Our irrefutable data shows
that users of our site gave more than they planned to before viewing our
findings, and in fact, last year Charity Navigator visitors gave over $3
billion in charitable gifts.
Sincerely,
Michael Smith
Interim President/Chief Operating Officer
