One independent A+ to F grade from four published criteria, each scored separately from IRS filings and combined by weight.
A
AProgram efficiency40% of the rating87% to programs · $9 to raise $100
Measures how much of every dollar spent actually reaches programs, plus what it costs to raise $100 of donations. The worse of the two measures sets the letter (85%+ to programs is an A; under $15 to raise $100 is an A), averaged over the three most recent filings. For World Vision: 87% to programs · $9 to raise $100 earns a A on this criterion. See the exact thresholds →
AFinancial health25% of the rating3 mo reserves · +4% margin
