Financial Documents and Annual Reports
Transparency is one of our core values. Below you will find all of Charity Navigator's annual tax filings, audited financial statements, and annual reports.
Our Financial History
Initially, Charity Navigator was solely funded by philanthropists John and Marion Dugan. This meant that we were required to register with the IRS as a private foundation and filed several Forms 990-PF. In 2007, we applied to become a public charity to hold ourselves to the same standards as the organizations we rate. Following a five-year interim ruling, we transitioned to a public charity.
