Global Impact Receives Prestigious Four-Star Charity Navigator Rating For Sixth Consecutive Year

(3BL Media) Alexandria, VA - April 20, 2012 – Global Impact, whose mission is to assure help for the world’s most vulnerable people, announced today its Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating.

This prestigious honor is awarded for exceptional fiscal management, accountability and transparency, which Global Impact has achieved for six consecutive years. This distinction is earned by only three percent of rated charities.

“Financial integrity and a commitment to accountability are key components to our success as an organization,” said Renée S. Acosta, President, Global Impact. “This recognition from Charity Navigator underscores our commitment to ethical business practices and ensuring that more money reaches the people who need it most.”

Charity Navigator, America’s leading independent charity evaluator, works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health and accountability and transparency of America’s largest charities.

“Only three percent of the charities we rate have received at least six consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that Global Impact consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America,” said Ken Berger, President & CEO of Charity Navigator. “This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Global Impact from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”

Global Impact’s practices result in a series of awards and recognition, including Charity Navigator’s Four-Star Rating, and Seal Holder status from the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance for the seventh consecutive year for meeting each of the 20 standards for charity accountability.
