Namaste and Kia ora, Originally from India and now based in Aotearoa New Zealand, my approach is shaped by the Sanskrit principle “Prakriti Rakshati Rakshita” — those who protect nature are protected by nature. I see responsibility toward the natural world as an ethical commitment (Dharma), where human wellbeing and ecological balance are inseparable.

No, you do not have to pay to use our service. In our commitment to helping America’s philanthropists of all levels make informed giving/ social investment decisions, we refuse to charge our users for this trusted data. Furthermore, we do not accept funding from the charities that we evaluate, ensuring that our ratings remain objective. As a result, Charity Navigator, a 501 (c)(3) public charity itself, depends on support from individuals, corporations, and foundations that believe we provide a much-needed service to America’s charitable donors.
