Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of America’s largest charities.

We offer the following list as a quick reference guide to the highest and lowest-rated charity in each cause that we evaluate. In providing this list, our goal is to help you navigate the crowded charitable marketplace and make intelligent giving decisions.

[Special Note: This is post number 10,000 for NewMexiKen.

Since I began in August 2003, some posts were drafted but never published, and several were published but have since been deleted (those with nothing but broken links, for example). So, net, there are just 9,557 “live” posts at this moment.

Nonetheless, as far as the database is concerned, and as far as I am concerned, this is post 10,000.]
