Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex’s  sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency have earned it a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. This is the 11th consecutive time that Mission Arlington^® has earned this top distinction. This is especially noteworthy this year, given that Charity Navigator used enhanced financial methodology to evaluate charities this year.

Since 2002, using objective, data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. In 2011, the charity watchdog added 17 metrics, (focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness) to its rating methodology.

These “Accountability and Transparency” metrics reveal which charities have “best practices” that minimize the chance of unethical activities and whether they freely share basic information about their organization with their donors and other stakeholders.

According to Michael Thatcher, President & CEO of Charity Navigator, this four star rating puts Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex in

a very select group of high-performing charities. Out of the thousands of nonprofits Charity Navigator evaluates, only one out of four earns 4 Stars – a rating that demands rigor, responsibility and commitment to openness. Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex supporters should feel much more confident that their hard-earned dollars are being used efficiently and responsibly when it acquires such a high rating

The Mission Arlington^® / Mission Metroplex^® family voluntarily cooperates with multiple charity watchdog organizations like Charity Navigators as part of our commitment to our Lord and to each of you who give so faithfully to support the ministry here. We are pleased to receive this honor for the 11th year in a row.

Thank you so much for your constant support.
