Dallas, TX; December 20, 2024 – The Army Scholarship Foundation is proud to announce that its strong financial health and ongoing effectiveness and reliability have helped it earn a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator and a spot on GreatNonprofits’ prestigious 2024 Top-Rated Nonprofits List.

Charity Navigator analyzes overall nonprofit health and performance based on four key areas: Leadership & Adaptability to help donors understand if a charity has clarity of purpose, Accountability & Finance to explain if they are transparent and fiscally capable, Culture & Community to show how they engage with their constituents, and Impact & Results to explain what they have accomplished.

ASF’s 4-star rating designates the nonprofit as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that our organization is using its donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s comprehensive criteria that go beyond financials to reflect the work charities do. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest charity evaluator, providing donors with thorough and credible ratings of more than 230,000 organizations. Since 2001, the organization has been an unbiased and trusted source of information for more than 11 million donors annually.

“We are delighted to provide Army Scholarship Foundation with third-party accreditation that validates their operational excellence,” said Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. “The Four-Star Rating is the highest possible rating an organization can achieve. We are eager to see the good work that the Army Scholarship Foundation can accomplish in the years ahead.”

Great Nonprofits’ is a “people’s choice award” given when volunteers, donors, and people served by nonprofits review the charity favorably and is another way to amplify the impact of loyal supporters who have experience with the organization.

“Having achieved the highest ratings with Charity Navigator and Great Nonprofits offers further validation that our supporters can trust our commitment to the highest standards and that our donor’s gifts are maximized to make the most impact,” said Jeff Gault, Army Scholarship Foundation CEO. “We hope it will gain the confidence of new supporters as well as they join us to advance our mission to provide scholarship funds to military families.”

The nonprofit’s 2025 scholarship cycle opens online on January 15, 2025, and runs through April 15, 2025. Applications and eligibility requirements are available at armyscholarshipfoundation.org
