Charity Rankings and Navajo Mission

By Cristina Morais | Director of Development

A few of the children helped at the Navajo Mission

K.I.D.S.’ programs span the United States, enabling us to reach thousands of children in need through our network of over 1,000 community partners. Community partners like Pam Engel, from the Wyatte Baptist Church in Greenville, MS, could not express just how much of an impact our donations have on the children she serves. As she states: "Thank you so much for the love you give us through donations for our missions. That same love reaches so very many and in return they send their thanks and prayers."

As a result of the wonderful support of our donors, K.I.D.S. reached the children pictured above as well as so many others. Thanks to our ability to efficiently and effectively reach populations most in need, K.I.D.S. was recently ranked at number 207 on the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s 2013 ranking of the Philanthropy 400, with a 29% increase in private support over the previous year.

K.I.D.S. receives product donations from over 1,000 manufacturers and retailers and then distributes the new clothing, books, shoes, toys, educational materials and home goods that kids need to local social service agencies around the country, which they integrate into their programs. Over 98% of K.I.D.S.' total expenses go towards our programs, which has led the following organizations to recognize our outstanding commitment to fiscal management, transparency and service impact.

Charity Navigator, the rating agency for all not-for-profits, has awarded K.I.D.S. its "exceptional" 4 star rating for six years in a row indicating that K.I.D.S. consistently executes its mission in a way that outperforms most other charities in America.

Forbes Magazine ranks K.I.D.S. among the top 200 non-profit agencies and calls K.I.D.S. one of "America's Most Efficient Charities."

The National Better Business Bureau has given K.I.D.S. its highest ranking for 5 years in a row.

It starts with one person like you who makes a generous donation to K.I.D.S. Due to the tremendous support of our product donors, your gift is then multiplied ten-fold: a $25 gift provides $250 of new merchandise. It ends with children and families in need receiving something new of their own to experience the joy, relief, and pride that so many of us feel when we receive something brand new.

Please help us continue our mission by donating now.
