# charitywatch.org ## About CharityWatch has spent years digging into how nonprofits actually spend the money they raise. They look past slick marketing and focus on real program spending versus overhead and fundraising costs. Their analysts review tax filings, audited statements, and direct communications with charities to assign letter grades from A to F. Donors use these grades to decide where their contributions will have the most impact without getting lost in administrative bloat.
