This week’s reading makes me think about the objectiveness in those various evaluation resources. Different institute pay different importance to different factors in an organization’s output or outcome. So how can we choose an evaluation institute to trust when we are trying to use it as an indicator for an organization’s effectiveness? In charity navigator’s website we can see that it put revenue as the most important indicator. However, is it suitable to every case?
In my opinion, revenue is a strong indicator for the effectiveness of an organization. However, it is definitely not the only indicator. We should also look at other factors. In some cases, an organization’s mission statement can also be very important when we are trying to pick an organization to donate to. For example, when we want to help people in poverty, we will never able to make the right judgment by merely looking at the organization’s rates of revenue. Instead, we should first of all find out which organizations are working to help the poor.
Therefore, we need to pick the right navigator when we want to use them for different purposes. Besides, we should also understand that those navigators are a source but should not be the only reason for our decisions.
