Children’s Aid Receives Ninth 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator

September 22, 2009

The Children’s Aid Society is the first-ever recipient of a ninth consecutive four-star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest independent charity evaluator! Designated for its “exceptional financial health,” Children’s Aid earned its latest four-star rating for its ability to “consistently execute its mission in a fiscally responsible way,” according to a letter from Ken Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the charity evaluator.

Berger’s letter also noted that Children’s Aid’s “ ‘exceptional’ designation from Charity Navigator differentiates The Children’s Aid Society from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”

“We are thrilled that Charity Navigator has recognized Children’s Aid’s ability to serve the impoverished children of New York City effectively and use donations, grants, reserves and government contracts wisely and efficiently,” said C. Warren Moses, Chief Executive Officer of The Children’s Aid Society. “We intend to maintain our fiscal health with aggressive marketing and fundraising, and by aligning all of our assets, including real estate, with our mission of service to the city’s neediest families, while continuing to innovate to meet the needs of children and families today.”
