Nonprofits That Top the List

Today, I bring you a list of 13 top-rated nonprofit organizations.  Charities were rated on a number of qualities:  Alexa's traffic rankings, Google's page rankings, links to the charity on other webpages, social media presence, and most important, Charity Navigator 4-star companies.  Charity Navigator takes into consideration fiscal responsibility and transparency.  They've done all the work for us to help us determine where we want to spend our hard-earned money and valuable time.
