And you expect us to take this site seriously when they give the Clinton Foundation a score of 93.91?

What was I thinking?

Actually I did not know that Charity Navigator ( a well respected Charity watchdog ) gave the Clinton Foundation such a high ratingthis year which was based on last years 990 tax returns.

From Wiki:



Using publicly available tax returns (IRS Form 990) filed with the Internal Revenue Service and information posted by charities on their web sites, the Charity Navigator rating system bases its evaluations in two broad areas—financial health and accountability/transparency.

Based on how the charity rates in each of the two areas, it is assigned an overall rating, ranging from zero to four stars. To help donors avoid becoming victims of mailing-list appeals, each assessment of a charity's performance is accompanied by a review of its commitment to keeping donors' personal information confidential.

Carly Fiorina led the attack on the charity (probably because the birther stuff already had a leader in Trump)

But here is a compact version of the evaluation of her attack and the charity.

According to the June 2015 fact Check article you posted:
Charity Navigator removed the Clinton Foundation from their list until they identified a rating methodology that appropriately captured the business model.

Here’s what the Charity Navigator site actually states:

Charity Navigator: We had previously evaluated this organization, but have since determined that this charity’s atypical business model can not be accurately captured in our current rating methodology. Our removal of The Clinton Foundation from our site is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of this charity. We reserve the right to reinstate a rating for The Clinton Foundation as soon as we identify a rating methodology that appropriately captures its business model.

What does it mean that this organization isn’t rated?

It simply means that the organization doesn’t meet our criteria. A lack of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment by Charity Navigator.

But what is important is that Charity Navigator is a well respected charity Watchdog site.

And it's to Charity Navigator credit that they take a Charity off its list when the charity is atypical and their methodology will not accurately assess the Charity.

In fact it looks like they do most of their own work which I would think cuts down on the middleman and helps free more money up for actual charity use (if I am understanding the business model correctly)
