ARK Awarded “Highest Rating for Transparency” Seal

Tzedakah, Inc. has awarded The ARK its Highest Rating for Transparency seal.  This prestigious award is given only to those Jewish charities that provide extensive information documenting that they effectively steward and allocate their resources.  Tzedakah, Inc.’s profile of The ARK can be viewed at www.Tzedakah.Info.

Ira Kaminow, President of Tzedakah, Inc., applauded The ARK for its “full and enthusiastic cooperation in promptly providing every detail of information requested.”  He pointed out that donors have a right and responsibility to know how the funds they contribute are managed and used.  According to Jewish law, he said, one may give tzedakah only to organizations that are trustworthy and can effectively administer charity funds.  Profiles prepared by Tzedakah, Inc. help donors find charities that meet those criteria.  “Fortunately,” Kaminow said, “there are charities like The ARK that give donors information necessary to make informed giving decisions.”

Tzedakah, Inc. is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization based in Maryland devoted to better-informed donors and more transparent Jewish charities.
