The Prem Rawat Foundation Maintains Highest Rating in Charity Evaluation

Charity Navigator awards the foundation a second consecutive Four-Star rating for sound fiscal management

LOS ANGELES, April 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) has been awarded the coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management by Charity Navigator for the second consecutive year. Only 21% of the charities the organization evaluates have received two or more consecutive four-star ratings.

Charity Navigator is one of America's premier charity evaluators, with the goal of highlighting "the fine work of efficient charities to provide donors with essential information to guide them in the charitable choices they make."

The rating was given to TPRF for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances, explains Ken Berger, Charity Navigator president & CEO. "The Prem Rawat Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way," he said, "and outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates TPRF from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust." Charity Navigator's evaluation of TPRF was updated on its website at the beginning of April.

For Linda Pascotto, President of TPRF, "The credit for this rating rightly belongs to the dedicated volunteers from several countries who commit their time and expertise to all areas of TPRF's work. Their efforts and the contributions of the board made it possible for over 96% of general contributions to go directly to programs."  

Major publications such as Forbes, Business Week and Kiplinger's Financial Magazine have cited Charity Navigator for its unique method of applying data-driven analysis to the charitable sector. "We evaluate ten times more charities than our nearest competitor," Berger says, "and we currently attract more visitors to our website than all other charity-rating groups combined."
