    How and Why We Issue Alerts

    When a charity is reported to engage or confirmed to have engaged in misconduct or questionable practices, we post an alert on the charity’s profile page to raise awareness and help inform your giving.

    Ensuring You Have Access to as Much Information as Possible to Inform Your Giving

     

    Charity Navigator's Alert Issuance Committee publishes reports of potential or confirmed misconduct or other questionable practices being investigated by the media or governmental agencies, in accordance with our alert methodology. 

     

    In issuing an alert, the Committee considers the following:

     

     

    1. The credibility and timeliness of the information.
    2. The nature, scope, and seriousness of the allegations or convictions.
    3. Whether or not the allegations have been proven.
    4. Other factors on a case-by-case basis.

     

    It's important to note that alerts are issued to equip donors with information to guide their giving decisions. It is not within the scope or objective of the Committee to independently assess the accuracy of the information. The objective of the committee is to determine if a donor might find such information helpful when considering a contribution to the organization.
