Accolades from Charity Navigator
TSF has also earned a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, the highest possible score. This rating designates TSF as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that TSF uses its donations effectively. Charity Navigator uses four key indicators to rate non-profit performance, including Impact & Results, Accountability & Finance, Leadership & Adaptability, and Culture & Community.
“Our Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid and Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator are further validation that our supporters can trust TSF’s commitment to good governance and financial health,” said Dr. Joseph Dearani, President of The Thoracic Surgery Foundation. “We hope that these ratings will introduce TSF’s work to new supporters who feel strongly about our mission to advance heart and lung health for all.”
