Highest Charity Rating

Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, rates The Nature Conservancy as an exceptional, four-star charity.

The Conservancy holds Charity Navigator's highest rating because we exceed industry standards and outperform most other public charities and many other environmental charities in terms of efficiency, capacity and financial health.

The Conservancy also holds superlative ratings from many other charity watchdog organizations, including the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance and the American Institute of Philanthropy.

These ratings underscore our leadership as an international conservation organization and a responsible charity. Feel confident that your donation to the Conservancy will make a difference and help us protect the Last Great Places on Earth.
