Second Story Earns 4-Star Charity Navigator Rating for the Eighth Year in a Row

October 2, 2018

Share on X (Twitter) Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on Email

Charity Navigator LogoFor the eighth year in a row, Second Story has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, the leading charity evaluator in America. This is the highest rating possible; only 4% of charities in America receive this kind of long-standing achievement.

Charity Navigator uses a variety of metrics including governance and ethical practices, openness, and fiscal responsibility. Only the most fiscally responsible organizations are awarded a 4-star rating.

These 4 stars indicate transparency, accountability, and financial health. Integrity and honesty mean the world to us here at Second Story — for the young people we serve, our community, and you, the valued supporters who trust us with your time and resources. This award is very important to us! For more information, visit our Charity Navigator profile.
