Charity Clarity
Which nonprofits can weather a bad year?
Every US charity that files a Form 990, scored on 5 of eight published criteria — and every weight adjustable, so you can see how much the ranking depends on the choices we made. 500,723 organisations rated from tax periods 2001-03-31 to 2026-09-30.
Download the full report (PDF) — trends, top-ten breakouts, methodology
Refreshed weekly, as the IRS releases new batches of e-filed returns. Figures in the current edition can change from one week to the next; the edition name changes only when the data moves into a new quarter.
Move the weights. Watch the ranking move.
These are our published criteria and their published weights. Nothing here is fixed — drag a slider and every score recomputes in your browser, using the same arithmetic the rating engine uses on the server, including renormalising across the criteria a given filing was actually able to report.
The Program share only preset exists to make a point: it reproduces the single-overhead-ratio approach that Charity Navigator, GuideStar and the BBB Wise Giving Alliance jointly repudiated in 2013. Try it and watch how far organisations move. That volatility is the argument against it.

The sector at a glance
Every rated 501(c)(3), year by year, at each filing's tax year. Coverage grows as the IRS publishes returns, so a year marked partial is still being filed and is not comparable to the others. The PDF edition carries the same analysis with methodology and appendices.

Expenses over $10M and at least half of revenue, so most holding companies and endowment vehicles (which spend little of what they hold) are left out. Net assets include endowment and buildings, so a high figure can still mean restricted wealth, not spendable cash.
Hospital / health system Marked rows are hospitals or health systems. Many file as the parent of a group, so their net assets include the hospitals, clinics and investment pools of the whole system while the expenses on the parent return can be a fraction of the group's. That is what they disclose; it is not a mistake, but it is not comparable to a single charity's rainy-day fund. Check the filing's Schedule R (related organisations) before reading the figure as cash on hand.
Grantmaking fund / trust Marked rows are grantmaking funds, trusts and foundations that file Form 990 as public charities (supporting organisations, family funds, "Friends of" conduits). What they hold is mostly money set aside to give away over many years, often restricted, so a deep reserve here describes an endowment, not an operating cushion. That is what they disclose; check Part IV and Schedule D of the filing for endowment and restricted funds.

Scores are relative to peers, so a rise means the organisation moved up within its cohort, not that every number improved.
Why there is no efficiency table. There is no "most efficient" table, on purpose. Program share and overhead are allocations each filer makes itself: more than a quarter of rankable organisations report administrative cost under 1% of expenses, one declared $25 against $1.9M. A top ten on those figures would rank bookkeeping, not spending. The figures are still published per organisation in the table above; they are not scored or ranked.
What the criteria mean
| Criterion | Published weight | Direction | Computation | Available on |
|---|
Cohort medians
Every score is a percentile inside a cohort of similar organisations — same sector, same revenue band, same tax form. These are the real medians, computed across every rated organisation rather than the slice shown above.
