Charity Navigator

Charity ratings and donor resources

Charity Navigator is a charity search and rating platform that helps donors decide where to give by surfacing organizations aligned with their interests. Users can search for charities, review ratings, and follow through to donations, with curated giving lists covering topics such as disaster relief and immigrant support.

Core features include charity search, ratings, curated lists, and Horizon AI Search, an AI-powered tool that offers personalized recommendations and data-driven insights. The platform also provides donor resources alongside its search and discovery tools.

It is aimed at individual donors researching charitable organizations. The pages do not describe plans, trials, or editions.
