The four-star designation is Charity Navigator’s highest honor, and indicates Family Centers adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.

“As nonprofit organizations evolve, so do the desires and interests of our supporters,” said Michael Thatcher, Charity Navigator’s president & CEO. “Attaining a four-star rating verifies that Family Centers exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its area of work. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Family Centers apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”

Charity Navigator evaluates 10 times more charities than its nearest competitor and currently attracts more visitors to its website than all other charity rating groups combined. Last year, Charity Navigator influenced approximately $10 billion in charitable gifts.

Family Centers is a private, nonprofit organization offering education and human services to children, adults and families in Fairfield County. More than 200 professionals and 3,000 trained volunteers work together to provide a wide range of responsive, innovative programs.
