The Memorial Hospital Foundation is proud to announce that its strong financial health and ongoing accountability and transparency has earned a Four-Star Rating and a 100/100 score from Charity Navigator. This rating designates Memorial Hospital Foundation as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that their organization is using its donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s criteria. Charity Navigator is America’s largest and most-utilized independent charity evaluator. Since 2001, the organization has been an unbiased and trusted source of information for more than 11 million donors annually.

Charity Navigator analyzes nonprofit performance based on four key indicators, referred to as beacons. Currently, nonprofits can earn scores for the Impact & Results, Accountability & Finance, Culture & Community, and Leadership & Adaptability beacons.

“We are delighted to provide Memorial Hospital Foundation with third-party accreditation that validates their operational excellence,” said Michael Thatcher, President and CEO of Charity Navigator. “The Four-Star Rating is the highest possible rating an organization can achieve.
