Charity Watchdogs Give Clinton Foundation “High Marks” AP: Charity Navigator Awards Clinton Foundation “Four Out Of Four Stars.” The Associated Press (AP) reported that the Charity Navigator, a “leading and respected” charity watchdog group that has also been a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, gave the Clinton Foundation “four out of four stars — the highest rating that Charity Navigator gives after a close look at a charity's finances.” The AP noted that the foundation’s score of “94.74 out of 100,” determined by “a fixed algorithm,” was “based on annual federal tax documents,” the organization’s “financial health … and their accountability and transparency.” The AP also noted that Charity Navigator put the Clinton Foundation on a watchlist in 2015 because of concerns about “donations from foreign governments,” but it removed the foundation from that list in December “after the foundation amended its tax returns and clarified its position on foreign donations.” Most charities graded by Charity Navigator “get a three-star rating,” according to the AP: A charity watchdog with an ongoing relationship with the Clinton Foundation gave the former first family's nonprofit high marks Thursday, after an evaluation prompted by the heightened interest in the organization. The Clinton Foundation received four out of four stars — the highest rating that Charity Navigator gives after a close look at a charity's finances.
