Washington, D.C. – For the third consecutive year, Refugees International achieved Charity Navigator’s four-star rating, the highest rating possible from the charity evaluator.

"Only 14 percent of the charities we rate have received at least 3 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Refugees International consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America," said Ken Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charity Navigator.

“Refugees International is honored by this recognition of our ability to do the best work we possibly can with the funding from our generous donors,” added Dan Glickman, President of Refugees International. “We hope to continue to inspire our supporters to speak out and stand by us as we strive for lifesaving humanitarian assistance and policies that serve people displaced by conflict and crisis.”  

Refugees International is a Washington, DC-based organization that advocates to end refugee crises and receives no government or UN funding. RI was founded in 1979 to advocate for the protection of Indochinese refugees fleeing violence and persecution in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
