Us TOO RECEIVES TOP 4-STAR CHARITY FISCAL MANAGEMENT RATING AGAIN
- On November 30, 2006, Us TOO International received notification that it has again received Charity Navigator’s coveted highest rating for sound fiscal management. Us TOO received a rating of four out of a possible four stars for the second year in a row.
Charity Navigator is an independent charity evaluator, and works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of America's largest charities.
“We are happy to announce that Us TOO International has earned a 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances,” states Trent Stamp, Executive Director of Charity Navigator.
“Only 12% of the charities we’ve rated have received at least two consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Us TOO International outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible,” Stamp emphasizes. “This ‘exceptional’ rating from Charity Navigator differentiates Us TOO International from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
