    Rating Information

    Not currently rated


    Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact & Measurement beacon to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.
    See rating report below to learn why this organization is not currently eligible.

    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    Adaptability Statement
    30 out of 30 points
    The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
    During the periods in the pandemic in 2021 when infection and hospitalization rates were high Challenged Sailors continued to hold monthly Board meetings, most often both in person and using Zoom. These meetings were open to all who were interested. This helped to maintain our leadership continuity. Based upon the guidance of the San Diego Department of Health's guidance, sailing, an outdoor activity was allowed to continue. This was a real source of a sense of freedom and independence for our handicapped and disabled sailors and volunteers.
