Houston Habitat Earns Coveted 4 Star Charity Navigator rating!
Houston, TX (May 3, 2017) – Houston Habitat for Humanity was congratulated on attaining the coveted Charity Navigator 4-star rating for demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and th transparency. This is the 5 time that Houston Habitat has earned this top distinction! As the nonprofit sector advances and expands, so do the desires and interests of their supporters. Astute donors want greater accountability, transparency, and concrete results from nonprofits. With more than 1.5 million American charities, Charity Navigator’s purpose is to highlight the work of efficient and transparent organizations. They provide donors with essential information to give them greater confidence in both the charitable decisions that they make, and in the nonprofit sector.
