Earning Donors’ Trust

City Wildlife relies on public support to fulfill its critical and unique mission, and we realize that trust must be earned, not assumed. In all aspects of its operation — animal care, finances and accounting, fundraising, and equity among staff, volunteers, and public — City Wildlife takes pains to embrace the highest standards. It is encouraging that these efforts have been noticed and acclaimed by major nonprofit evaluators.

Charity Navigator, the world’s largest and most-utilized independent charity evaluator, has given City Wildlife a rating of 95 of 100. The organization guides informed giving by evaluating the financial health, accountability, and transparency of charities.

GuideStar, the most complete source of information about U.S. charities and other nonprofit organizations, has awarded City Wildlife a platinum status, its highest rating.

 

After a rigorous review process conducted by a team of more than 150 local experts in nonprofit management and finance, Spur Local selected City Wildlife to be one of the well-run nonprofits they recommend as sound community investments.

The Washington City Paper has included City Wildlife among the environmental organizations it recommends to its readers as worthy of support in its 2024 giving guide.
