Four Star Rating from Charity Navigator

Since 2006, the NKFM has earned consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator, the nation’s leading charity evaluator. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that the NKFM adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. Only 1% of the charities rated have received  consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that the NKFM outperforms most other charities in America.

The NKFM is proud to have met all 20 Better Business Bureau Charity Standards to become a BBB Accredited Charity.

However, where indicated, the standards recommend ethical practices beyond the act of disclosure in order to ensure public confidence and encourage giving.
