Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation earns Charity Navigator’s highest rating

June 4, 2009

The nation's premier evaluator of charities has given the PBTF its highest rating for the fifth year in a row.

"We are proud to announce that the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® has earned our fifth consecutive four-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances," Charity Navigator CEO Ken Berger said in a letter to the PBTF.

"Only 4 percent of the charities we rate have received at least five consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America," Berger continued. "This 'exceptional' designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

The PBTF achieved this rating with the help of its donors, fundraisers, volunteers and sponsors.

"We could not fund our medical research and family support programs without their financial generosity," said Executive Director Brian Traynor. "We do not take their commitment lightly, and we take great care with the funds entrusted to us. We are gratified that Charity Navigator has recognized this effort with their four-star rating."
