Charity Navigator was founded in 2001 with a rather simple, yet valuable premise in mind: "People are amazingly generous and helping others but are not always sure how to go about it." In order to aid individuals and organizations, Charity Navigator evaluates various charities and non-profits on a variety of metrics so that potential contributors can make informed decisions. One of the highlights of their website is their database, which allows users to search over 5,000 charity ratings, or just browse by category or geographic region. One should not overlook their special reports, which include such timely (and potentially tragic) works as "Hurricane Katrina One Year Later: Where Did the Money Go?" The site also has a great selection of "Top 10 Lists", which includes such lists as "10 Charities Worth Watching" and "10 Highly Paid CEO's Low-Rated Charities". The site is rounded out by an impressive list of articles written by staff members at Charity Navigator, and links to other relevant articles on charities generated by other news sources.
