WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer was recently recognized as a four-star charity by Charity Navigator, the world's largest evaluator of charities. This is a top tier rating, reserved for charities that exceed industry standards and outperform most other charities.
"Earning Charity Navigator's highest rating allows people to give to ZERO with confidence," said Jamie Bearse, CEO of ZERO. "Your gift goes directly to advancing research and providing education and support for men and their families."
ZERO ranks highest among prostate cancer charities for percent of the charity's budget spent on the programs and services it delivers, at 98.4 percent. Joining the ranks of organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, and Natural Resources Defense Council, ZERO is one of less than 2,500 charities out of more than 1.5 million nationwide to be given the distinction of four stars.
Charity Navigator uses an unbiased, objective, numbers-based rating system to assess over 7,000 of America's charities.
Their rating system examines two broad areas of a charity's performance; Financial Health and Accountability and Transparency, showing givers how efficiently a charity will use their support today, how well it has sustained its programs and services over time, and its level of commitment to good governance, best practices and openness with information.
In addition to this new accolade, ZERO is a 501c3 charity, a Better Business Bureau member, and 98 cents of every dollar donated goes to research and programs. To learn more about our work or make a lifesaving donation, visit www.zerocancer.org.
