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!

Accountability & Finance

Not Currently Scored

Merit Academy cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having 2 years of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data.

To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS 990.

Charity Navigator currently only has 2 years of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for Merit Academy under the EIN: 85-2365942.

Before Charity Navigator can evaluate Merit Academy, Merit Academy will need to e-file for additional fiscal years.
