| Charity Navigator’s Vital Mission Hides Flawed Rankings |
|
My colleague Michael Soper, writing at his blog Rare Medium, looks at how Charity Navigator’s Vital Mission Hides Flawed Rankings. He addresses the obvious flaws of numerical ratios drawn from financial reports and how that methodology contradicts Charity Navigator's own suggestions for evaluating nonprofit success. Obviously, it's much cheaper to use the numbers that are easy to get, no matter how bad a metric that produces. Michael closes by making a case for why it's actually a wonderful thing that there are no uniform metrics and I find that I agree.
