To: TRY ONE
I don't know whether Charity Navigator is legit or not, but assuming they are then Freedom Alliance is a VERY WELL RUN CHARITY.

Correction to the previous poster, they use a 4 star ranking system and Freedom Alliance gets 4 out of 4 which is the best ranking.

Overall Rating (65.65)
Organizational Efficiency
Program Expenses 81.5% (Amount that goes to benefit charity recipients - higher is better)
Administrative Expenses 4.8% (Overhead - lower is better)
Fundraising Expenses 13.5% (More overhead - lower is better)
Fundraising Efficiency $0.09 (Amount a charity spends to raise $1 - lower is better)
Efficiency Rating (35.65)

Organizational Capacity
Primary Revenue Growth 7.4%
Program Expenses Growth 28.3%
Working Capital Ratio (years) 2.57
Capacity Rating (30.00)

Ranking system described at http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/content.view/catid/2/cpid/48.htm

It would appear this article is total BS.

Didn't Schlussel say that this meant only $0.09 of each dollar goes to the charity? Well, she was dead wrong on that so far.
