Episcopal Relief & Development is pleased to announce that it has achieved a
4-star rating from Charity Navigator for sound fiscal management. This is the highest possible rating, given to only a quarter of the charities evaluated by the group, the national leader in charity evaluation. This ‘exceptional’ designation indicates that Episcopal Relief & Development executes its mission in a financially responsible way.

“Episcopal Relief & Development is committed to maintaining the highest standards of accountability so we are extremely pleased to be recognized by Charity Navigator for excelling at this,” says Robert W. Radtke, President of Episcopal Relief & Development. “By effectively administering the financial support of our donors we can truly heal a hurting world,” added Radtke.

“This 4-star rating by Charity Navigator is but one more recognition of the professional manner in which Episcopal Relief & Development carries out its mission. All Episcopalians can be proud of this rating and can have confidence in the way Episcopal Relief & Development represents them as we seek to heal a hurting world,” said the Right Reverend Harry Brown Bainbridge III, Chairman of Episcopal Relief & Development’s Board of Directors.

The recognition from Charity Navigator coincides with Episcopal Relief & Development’s launch of their 2007 Annual Summary, highlighting the efforts of the agency to reach close to 2.5 million people in over 41 countries around the world this past year.
