Heifer Regains Star in Charity Rating

1 min read

You may remember Arkansas Business reporting last year that Heifer International had experienced a decline in its rating by Charity Navigator.

The charities rating organization reported a fall by Heifer from three stars to two as of July 1, 2013. The highest possible stellar rating by Charity Navigator is four.

We’re happy to tell you that the nonprofit, based in Little Rock, has seen that rating rebound to three stars again, as of Dec. 22.

A nonprofit’s rating is based primarily on how much of its revenue goes toward the programs and services that are its reason for being and how much goes to overhead, which includes the cost of fundraising.

Charity Navigator obtains this information from a nonprofit’s report to the IRS, a Form 990.

A request for comment from Heifer on this development hadn’t been answered as of press time.
