Charity Navigator Grants<br />
Four Star Rating to the <strong>League</strong><br />
The nation’s leading charity evaluator,<br />
Charity Navigator, has granted a<br />
Four Star rating to the <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Welfare</strong><br />
<strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong> Arlington. The Four Star<br />
rating is the highest honor a charity can<br />
earn from the watchdog group,<br />
indicating that the charity exceeds<br />
industry standards and outperforms<br />
most charities in its cause. Charity<br />
Navigator’s rating indicates the<br />
<strong>League</strong>’s fiscal responsibility and<br />
financial health.<br />
The ratings are intended to provide<br />
donors with clear, objective, and<br />
reliable assessments <strong>of</strong> the financial<br />
health <strong>of</strong> charities, helping potential<br />
donors make informed decisions before<br />
contributing. Charity Navigator’s Web<br />
site currently lists evaluations <strong>of</strong> more<br />
than 5,000 charities, which are<br />
available to the public free <strong>of</strong> charge.<br />
The evaluations are based on current<br />
IRS data and show how efficiently a<br />
charity uses its financial support and to<br />
what extent the charity is increasing its<br />
programs and services.<br />
“We are very honored to receive this<br />
rating,” said Kay Speerstra, Executive<br />
Director. “It gives our donors confidence<br />
that their contributions are used<br />
in a responsible and careful way to<br />
further our mission <strong>of</strong> promoting<br />
animal welfare.”<br />
The <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Welfare</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Arlington is one <strong>of</strong> only three animal<br />
welfare organizations in Virginia to<br />
earn four stars.<br />
