The ratings are in…Project Sunshine has retained its 4-star rating for the fourth year in a row! Only 12% of charities evaluated by Charity Navigator have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations.

Michael Thatcher, President and CEO of Charity Navigator, writes, “Attaining a 4-star rating verifies that Project Sunshine exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in [its] area of work…This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Project Sunshine apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”

Here’s to another year of efficiency, transparency, and accountability!
