Sierra Club Foundation Earns Ten Consecutive Top Ratings from Charity Navigator
By Dan Chu, Executive Director, Sierra Club Foundation
This month, Charity Navigator again awarded the Sierra Club Foundation four stars in its annual assessment, the highest rating a charity can achieve. This marks the tenth straight four-star rating for the Foundation, an honor we attribute to the principles of transparency and accountability that guide all areas of our work.
Michael Thatcher, in a letter to the Sierra Club Foundation recognizing this achievement, wrote: “Attaining a 4-star rating verifies that Sierra Club Foundation exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in your area of work. Only 1% of the charities we evaluate have received at least 10 consecutive 4-star evaluations … This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Sierra Club Foundation apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”
The Sierra Club Foundation promotes efforts to educate and empower people to protect and improve the natural and human environment. The Foundation supports climate solutions, conservation, and movement-building through a powerful combination of strategic philanthropy and grassroots advocacy rooted in equity, justice and inclusion. This four-star rating upholds our commitment to achieve this mission in the most efficient and effective way possible.
