This rating and score places Embrace Relief among the top 1 percent of the nearly 200,000 charities rated by Charity Navigator, indicating high levels of effectiveness and trustworthiness. It is a positive reflection of the organization’s outstanding financial accountability and transparency, leadership, and the strength of its global humanitarian mission, according to Embrace Relief CEO Osman Dulgeroglu.

“We are proud to earn the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator,” Dulgeroglu added. “It tells us that we are on the right track, and demonstrates that Embrace Relief is an organization that is worthy of our donors’ and partners’ trust.”
