Rated 4-Star Charity Eight Consecutive Years
SOWF has received a four-star rating (out of four stars) for its eighth year from Charity Navigator, the nation's leading charity watchdog group. Only 1% of the charities they evaluate have earned this distinction.
There are something like 700 children in the breach each and every contribution means something. I did notice their overheads went up from 7 % on charity navigator ( their site lists a 5% administration expense). Interesting how when notoriety gets bigger so do overheads. I saw when you have more and more groups involved they require more and more time...
* I had to move on after 10+ years of supporting SOWF ( SOARHighlands ) but it was some of the best time I ever spent! SOWF is pretty responsive. Looking to support this Foundation now.
