"On behalf of Charity Navigator, I wish to congratulate Zakat Foundation of America on achieving our coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal management", Ken Berger from Charity Navigator wrote in a letter to Halil Demir, Executive Director of Zakat Foundation of America.

Zakat Foundation of America has been rated as a four-star charity, as a result of our ability to efficiently manage and grow our finances that assists humanity worldwide, Alhamdullah!

"Only 20% of the charities that are rated by Charity Navigator have received at least 2 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Zakat Foundation of America consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America." states Ken Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charity Navigator.

In this competitive philanthropic marketplace, Charity Navigator, America's premier charity evaluator, highlights the fine work of efficient charities such as our own, and provides donors with essential information needed to give them greater confidence in the charitable choices they make.

As the non-for-profit sector continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, savvy donors are demanding more accountability, transparency, and quantifiable results from the charities that they choose to support with their hard-earned dollars.

Insha' Allah, this "exceptional" designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Zakat Foundation of America from its peers, and demonstrates to the public that it is worthy of their trust.

We wish to thank all of our donors, brothers, sisters, and friends for their continuing support and prayers.
