FreedomWorks Awarded with Charity Navigator’s 4-star Rating for Fiscal Responsibility, Accountability and Transparency

Washington, DC- In light of a year-long investigation of the “50 Worst Charities in America,” conducted by CNN, the Tampa Bay Times and the Center for Investigative Reporting, FreedomWorks is proud to announce the organization has achieved Charity Navigator’s coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.

Charity Navigator’s multi-dimensional rating system is an effective tool to help donors identify charities that are responsible and worthy social investments. The rating is based on two major criteria: financial health; and accountability and transparency. As explained on their website, “the highest performing charities are those that excel in all areas, not just one.”

According to the FreedomWorks Annual Report, an industry-leading 90.39% of the organization’s total revenue went directly into grassroots programs and campaigns in 2012.

FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, “As a service center to a grassroots community that stands for transparency and fiscal responsibility, FreedomWorks practices what we preach. We will continue to look for ways to allocate our resources in the most efficient and effective ways to advance the ideas of individual liberty and constitutionally-limited government.”

FreedomWorks is a grassroots service center to a community of over 6 million activists dedicated to advancing the ideas of individual liberty and constitutionally-limited government. For more information, please visit www.FreedomWorks.org.
