An idea to complement Charity Navigator rating system

I think that Charity Navigator is a good tool to use when wanting to have information about the performance of the nonprofit. It provides a ranking based on financial information of the firm, as well as how the institution offers information related to its transparency through its website. However, if the system has a strong emphasis on nonprofits financial performance, it should include in its evaluation some ratios that reflect transparency and effectiveness based on financial information. In the NAF’s case, the firm would have increased its overall score gaining a better position in the qualification roster. We must not forget that these evaluation systems exert plenty influence on potential donors, so it is important to include as much information from the company so that potential donors may have a better idea of organizations’ performance. What do you think?
