Welcome

We are the premier social-value rating agency for non-profits, companies, and governments worldwide.
Our aim is a world where private aid exceeds official development assistance, and social value in
non-governmental organizations, businesses, governments and academia is recognized & rewarded.

Donors face the problem of finding the well-managed high-impact organizations working at the grassroots. At Foreign Aid Ratings our goal is to reduce these search costs by creating an "intelligent rating model" that measures social impact without being unnecessarily burdensome for your organization.

What We Do

1.We provide the Foreign Aid Certification to grassroots NGOs that satisfy strict criteria in five broad categories:

Social Impact
Financial Efficiency and Health
Accountability
Institutional Development
Non-Violence

2. We provide Social Value Ratings that reflect the Social Impact, Financial Efficiency and Health, Accountability and Institutional Development of grassroots NGOs and other organizations.
