When it comes to giving back, you want to make sure you’re being as effective as possible to ensure that your money, time, and efforts go as far as possible for the cause. That’s where charity ratings come in!

These ratings help identify America’s best charities to donate to in any given year, so you can factor this in when making your annual donation decisions.

Check out some of the 2021 top-rated charities in each category according to Charity Watch below! Charities on this list typically spend 75% or more of their budgets on programs, and spend $25 or less to raise $100, among other factors and requirements.
