LA JOLLA\u2014For the eighth consecutive time, the Salk Institute\u2019s strong financial health and continuing commitment to accountability and transparency have earned it a coveted 4-star (out of 4 stars) rating from Charity Navigator<\/a>, America\u2019s largest independent charity and nonprofit evaluator.\n<\/p>\n

\nReceiving the highest ranking for eight consecutive review periods puts Salk in a distinguished class of nonprofits\u2014only 3 percent of nonprofits evaluated achieve that status, \u201cindicating that the Salk Institute outperforms most other charities in America\u201d according to a letter from Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator.\n<\/p>\n\"4starsquarebw\"\n

\n\u201cWe are proud to announce [that the] Salk Institute for Biological Studies has earned our eighth consecutive 4-star rating,\u201d says Thatcher. \u201cThis is our highest possible rating and indicates that the Salk Institute adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way. Attaining a 4-star rating verifies that Salk Institute for Biological Studies exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its area of work.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Institute\u2019s fundraising efforts have seen significant new investments over the past year. Several highlights include a recent $19.2 grant from the American Heart Association-Allen Initiative<\/a> to uncover the mechanisms of cognitive-related decline; $2.5 million from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative<\/a> for neurodegenerative diseases; a $2 million gift from Board Chair Dan Lewis<\/a> to support research into some of the deadliest cancers; a $2 million gift from Trustee Howard Newman<\/a> in support of an innovative plant initiative aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change. Other past donations have seen many new breakthroughs emerge from Salk labs, including new revelations into the role of certain genes in cancer, possible new ways of using sound to treat neurological diseases, and advances in therapeutics that negate the increasing drug resistance seen in many types of infectious diseases.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community of donors who make philanthropic gifts to the Institute are a major part of the foundation on which Salk discoveries are made. These people and groups enable us to conduct the kind of leading-edge research we are known for,\u201d says Salk President Rusty Gage. \u201cWe are grateful for their generosity and remain diligent in thoughtfully using the resources they entrust us with.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nSince 2002, Charity Navigator has used objective analysis to award only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating: only a quarter of charities rated receive this distinction. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics\u2014focused on governance and ethical practices, as well as measures of openness\u2014to its ratings methodology. These Accountability and Transparency metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity\u2019s overall rating, reveal which charities operate in accordance with industry best practices and whether they are open with their donors and stakeholders. Charity Navigator\u2019s data-driven analysis of the charitable sector has been lauded by Forbes<\/em>, Business Week<\/em> and Kiplinger\u2019s Financial Magazine<\/em>, among others.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSalk donors should be confident that we leverage their generosity wisely. Donor partnership is vital to all of our pursuits; this 4-star rating is a tremendous endorsement of our continued good governance and financial accountability,\u201d says Salk Vice President of External Relations Rebecca Newman.\n<\/p>\n

\nFrom cancer and climate to Alzheimer\u2019s and autism, Salk scientists are making biological advances that will help everyone live longer, healthier lives. Through several new initiatives: the Harnessing Plants Initiative, Conquering Cancer Initiative and others forthcoming, Salk is seeking to transform how humanity understands and interacts with itself and the world. Thanks to the generosity of philanthropic partners, the Institute is able to continue to support its unique collaborative infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies and world-class talents.\n<\/p>\n
