Craig (of craigslist) Lends Us a Helping Hand!

Craig Newmark is a man on a mission to connect the world for the common good. He has also become a good friend of Charity Navigator. Not only has he been promoting us as an effective tool for helping charitable givers make wise giving decisions but he’s also just given us a generous grant to develop a software interface so we can push our data out to a host of other entities, such as giving portals, donor-advised funds and philanthropic advisors, to name a few. We expect to have this completed and ready to go by April 2012, just in time for our 10^th anniversary! Thanks, Craig! Check out Craig’s recent blog about his tips for choosing effective non-profits, including nice references to us and our partner, GreatNonprofits.
