Mother’s Day 2026: Give the Gift of CharityWatch

    May 1, 2026

For the mom or other caregiver in your life who has everything, consider gifting a CharityWatch account. Help your loved one avoid charity scams and wasteful nonprofits and empower them with the information they need to make the most impact with their donations.


Gift a CharityWatch Account

Gift a CharityWatch Account, which includes access to in-depth charity ratings on hundreds of national charities conducted by degreed accountants who “follow the cash” and help donors understand how their donations to charity are really being spent.

With a CharityWatch gift account, your loved one will receive our Charity Rating Guide & Watchdog Report, published twice per year (if selected), and online access to all of our charity rating profiles, including:

  • A+ to F Ratings
  • Program % and Fundraising Efficiency Metrics
  • Executive Salaries & Other Compensation
  • Governance & Transparency Benchmarks
  • Detailed Analysts’ Notes
  • List of Financial Documents Analyzed for the Rating

CharityWatch is a small organization and your donations are noticed, needed, and greatly appreciated. Thank you for giving wisely!
