Charity Navigator, considered America’s premier evaluator for US non-profit organizations, has once again awarded TPRF their highest rating of 4 stars. The Charity Navigator rating system includes an analysis of how efficiently the organization uses its support and how well it is growing its services over time. This is the third consecutive award of Four Stars for TPRF.

Ken Berger, President of Charity Navigator, wrote to Linda Pascotto, President of TPRF, that “Only 13% of the charities we rate have received at least 3 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that The Prem Rawat Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This ‘exceptional’ designation from Charity Navigator differentiates The Prem Rawat Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”

That TPRF consistently receives such a high rating is largely due to the capable and generous donation of time and expertise by volunteers on several continents. This unusual level of support is key to the Foundation’s ability to keep overhead costs at a minimum and efficiency at such a high level.  

More and more people are becoming aware of TPRF’s unique work of addressing the essential human needs of food, water, and peace and are trusting TPRF to use their donations effectively and efficiently. In that sense, the Charity Navigator rating is an official confirmation of the qualities that are being recognized by a growing cadre of Friends of TPRF whose efforts make its work possible.
