This watchdog service, run by The American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP) helps donors "make informed giving decisions." But you have to give them to do it – they don't give out information over the Internet. They're a nonprofit, so they need the $, but it still seems odd to me. They rate about 500 charities.
Calls itself "an independent charity evaluator". Evaluates over 5400 charities. Terrific site – easy to use. I particularly like their top ten lists, but there is much useful information everywhere on here. You can look up the individual charities Charity Navigator evaluates and see what it says. A high rating is worth a lot to any charity. Try it with organizations you already know to have a look at what they say.
