One Economy's Four Star Rating
When looking for a charity, one of the first places I head to is Charity Navigator.
I chose One Economy Corporation, which has 4 out of 4 stars at Charity Navigator: 3 stars for efficiency and 4 stars for capacity. The page also shows that One Economy Corporation has a written privacy policy for donors.
Their motto is "Your guide to intelligent giving" because they rate charities based on their operating efficiency. Their overview page states that "specifically, Charity Navigator's rating system examines two broad areas of a charity's financial health — how responsibly it functions day to day as well as how well positioned it is to sustain its programs over time." They look at things like how much of a donation is put toward their cause (as opposed to operating costs) and how the charity deals with smaller- or larger-than-expected revenue years.
You can also see Top 10 (or Bottom 10) lists on:
- Charities Overpaying their For-Profit Fundraisers
- Celebrity-Related Charities
- Most Frequently Reviewed Charities
- Charities Worth Watching
- Highly Paid CEO's at Low-Rated Charities
- Inefficient Fundraisers
So, when donating to any charity, it's a great idea to check out Charity Navigator to make sure you're not giving your money to a charity that gives one-fifth of their money to their CEO or isn't managing their money well enough to stay afloat longer than five more years.

You are way off on Tartar Sauce. It is probabally the worst condiment there is, if you have to eat tartar sauce with fish, then you're eating the wrong kind of fish!
Now with Woscestersireshirehester Sauce (i gave up trying to spell it correctly), again your propabally putting it on the wrong foods. Try it on a nice juicy steak, or even fries, oh wait, I see you've put tartar sauce on your fries…never mind
