Charity Navigator — America’s premier charity evaluator — has given Loma Linda University its second consecutive four-star rating. Four stars means the highest ranking possible, indicating that LLU exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its sector.
The president and CEO of Charity Navigator, Michael Thatcher, offered his kudos to Loma Linda University.
“I wish to congratulate Loma Linda University on achieving our coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency,” he said in a letter to Richard Hart, MD, DrPH, president of LLU.
The rankings by Charity Navigator inform donors which charities are worthy of supporting due to efficient, ethical and open operations.
Loma Linda University joins the mere 21 percent of charities that have received at least two consecutive four-star evaluations from Charity Navigator. Thatcher explained, “This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Loma Linda University from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
For the trust and generosity of its donors, Loma Linda University is deeply grateful, according to Rachelle Bussell, senior vice president for advancement.
“And we are pleased that Charity Navigator affirms our donors’ decision to invest in Loma Linda University as it trains tomorrow’s health care professionals with our signature viewpoint of whole person care,” Bussell said.
