FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ASHBURN, VA (November 21, 2024)—JASON Learning is proud to announce that we have earned a “Four-Star Rating” from Charity Navigator, recognizing our strong financial health and commitment to effectiveness and transparency. 

This rating designates JASON Learning as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that our organization uses our donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s comprehensive criteria that go beyond financials to reflect charities’ work. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest charity evaluator, providing donors with thorough and credible ratings of more than 230,000 organizations. Since 2001, the organization has been an unbiased and trusted source of information for more than 11 million donors annually.

“We are delighted to provide JASON Learning with third-party accreditation that validates their operational excellence,” said Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. “The Four-Star Rating is the highest possible rating an organization can achieve. We are eager to see the good work that JASON Learning can accomplish in the years ahead.”

Charity Navigator analyzes overall nonprofit health and performance based on four key areas: Leadership & Adaptability to help donors understand if a charity has clarity of purpose, Accountability & Finance to explain if they are transparent and fiscally capable, Culture & Community to show how they engage with their constituents, and Impact & Results to explain what they have accomplished.

“Our Four-Star Charity Navigator rating is further validation that our supporters can trust our commitment to good governance, but also that we’re using our donors’ gifts effectively,” said Dr. Eleanor Smalley, President and CEO of JASON Learning. “We hope it will introduce our work to new supporters who can help us advance our mission to inspire and educate students everywhere through real science and exploration.”
