Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) recently boosted its already stellar Charity Navigator rating to 99% from 96% in November 2023. Charity Navigator, the leading non-profit accountability group, updates ratings multiple times per year, with the most recent release earlier this month. TMCF has consistently achieved the highest rating of four stars since 2014.
The overall score is calculated from scores in the areas of accountability and finance, impact and measurement, leadership and adaptability, and culture and community.
“It’s an honor to once again have the quality of our work validated by an objective and trusted outside accountability group,” Dr. Harry L. Williams, president and CEO of TMCF, said. “This best-in-class rating helps us establish trust among our supporters and donors. We appreciate and value that trust that allows us to advance our mission of ensuring student success and preparing the next generation of workforce talent.”
TMCF advances the work of Justice Thurgood Marshall, a double HBCU grad, pioneering civil rights lawyer and first Black Supreme Court Justice. Through its work, TMCF has continued Justice Marshall’s legacy for over three decades to provide direct resources to HBCUs, nurture and advance Black talent in the workforce, and create a more equitable society that will provide economic mobility for Black students and their communities.
