About

Searching

The search supports text search in the organization name and descsription. It also supports searching specific fields for values. Specifying multiple field expressions will return organizatoins that match all of the fields. The exception is when filtering on stars: multiple star requirements will be treated as alternatives and organizations will only have to match one.

For example, score>90 score<95 will show organizations with a Charity Navigator rating of more than 90% and less than 95%, but stars:3 stars:2 will return organizations with 2 or 3 stars.

The following table shows the fields that the search supports.

Field Name Operators Examples
EIN ein : ein:123456789
Rating rating, score :, <, <=, >, >= rating:90, rating<=90, rating>95
Stars star, stars :, <, <=, >, >= stars:3, star>2

Curation

We draw organization information from a variety of sources. We screen organizations to ensure that they are trying to make the world a better place without punching down.

Some organizations are religiously affiliated, but we only include those that only impose their religious views on members. This means that any exemptions the organization might claim from anti-discrimination laws are limited to members of the religious community with which the organization identifies. For example, religiously affiliated hospitals will not impose any doctrinal restrictions on medical care except for patients subscribing to the same religion as the hospital.

Charity Navigator

Some organization information is provided by Charity Navigator. In particular, the “Charity Navigator Ratings” are provided as-is by Charity Navigator. The city, state, and cause of the organization as provided by Charity Navigator are added to the organization's tags. Other information from Charity Navigator is used during the import process, but is reviewed and revised before being displayed.

Charity Navigator is not affiliated with Empathy Forward and is not responsible for any mistakes or omissions.
