U. S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation earns top rating from charity watchdog (11/20/2003)

The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation, the nation's leading sportsmen advocacy organization, has earned a four-star rating from one of America's premier independent charity evaluators.

"We applaud your charitable efforts and congratulate you for receiving a 4-star rating," said Trent Stamp, executive director of Charity Navigator. "Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization excels, as compared to other charities in America, in the area of strong fiscal management."

HSUS Fails to Make the Grade

While the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation is a leader among charities, the nation's largest anti-hunting organization has missed the grade.

Charity Navigator gives the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) a two-star rating. The organization's fundraising spending is inefficient, and according to Charity Navigator's overall rating, the group "needs improvement."

The HSUS has received other negative ratings by charity watchdog groups. The American Institute of Philanthropy gave the group a D rating for spending over 50 percent of its expenses on fundraising. The December issue of Smart Money Magazine calls HSUS a "laggard" for putting barely 60 percent of its expenditures toward programs in 2002.
