DuPage Health Coalition earns coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator

DuPage Health Coalition's strong financial health and commitment to transparency have earned it a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent charity evaluator.

Charity Navigator awarded DHC a 95.5% overall rating, significantly higher than most peer organizations in its category. This score was bolstered by a best in class financial rating of 100%, and a 93.3 % rating for excellent accountability and transparency with its donors, board members, and clients.

Charity Navigator honors only the most fiscally responsible organizations with a 4-star rating and has been a respected voice in the industry since 2002.

"DuPage Health Coalition's exceptional 4-star rating sets it apart from its peers and demonstrates its trustworthiness to the public," stated Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. "This adds DuPage Health Coalition to a preeminent group of charities working to overcome our world's most pressing challenges. Based on its 4-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support DuPage Health Coalition."

"Every time a funder or a community member elects to make a donation to support DHC's mission, they help to create a community where every resident is healthy enough to work and care for their families," DuPage Health Coalition President Kara Murphy said. "Our 4-star Charity Navigator reflects our careful stewardship of their donation, and our commitment to maximize the impact of their gift to the greatest possible extent."
