Earns Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating

The Legacy Foundation received a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, the highest possible ranking awarded by the world’s largest and most-utilized independent charity evaluator. The Legacy’s 100% rating in the Accountability & Finance category reflects in Charity Navigator’s positive assessment of The Legacy’s financial health—including financial efficiency, sustainability, and trustworthiness—and its commitment to governance practices and policies.

The Legacy Foundation’s 100% rating is even more impressive compared to the foundations for our local CCRCs, which averaged

93%; Healthcare systems, which averaged 91%; and Institutions of Higher Education, which averaged 97%. Elevating the comparison to a global scale, major international charities rated around 92%.

“Our Charity Navigator rating reassures Shell Point residents that their charitable objectives are treated with the highest possible level of integrity and stewardship,” said Jeff Cory, Executive Director of the Legacy Foundation at Shell Point. “It is our privilege to work with residents to help them identify their purpose and passion, give meaningfully to their community, and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.”
