ISEF Makes Top 10 Charity List

Charity Navigator 4-Star Charity Badge

ISEF has once again been awarded four stars – the highest rating – by Charity Navigator, America’s largest and most-utilized independent evaluator of charities.

Moreover - ISEF has made Charity Navigator’s list of “Top 10 Highly Rated Charities with Favorable Reviews,” based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback of our recipients.

Ken Berger, Charity Navigator’s president & CEO, wrote:

“We are proud to announce ISEF Foundation has earned a 4-star rating. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way.
“Approximately a quarter of the charities we evaluate have received our highest rating, indicating that ISEF Foundation outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates ISEF Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
