The 3- and 4-Star rated charities included have earned their ratings by being financially efficient and transparent in their operations. These nonprofits are larger and national in scope.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released a message that the war in Ukraine serves as a reminder that children, from infancy through young adulthood, are always disproportionately impacted by morbidity and mortality associated with armed conflict.
