Annual Reports and Financial Statements

For the fourth consecutive year, The Humane Society of the United States is rated a four-star charity—the highest rating—from Charity Navigator, America's premier independent charity evaluator.

Only 7% of all the charities we rate have received at least 4 consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that The Humane Society of the United States consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America.
—Ken Berger, Charity Navigator president & CEO
