Pipeline Worldwide Earns a Four-Star Rating From Charity Navigator
PHOENIX March 10, 2025 - Pipeline Worldwide is proud to announce that its strong financial health and ongoing effectiveness and reliability have helped it earn a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. This rating designates Pipeline Worldwide as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that our organization is using its donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s comprehensive criteria that go beyond financials to reflect the work charities do. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest charity evaluator, providing donors with thorough and credible ratings of more than 230,000 organizations. Since 2001, the organization has been an unbiased and trusted source of information for more than 11 million donors annually.
Charity Navigator analyzes overall nonprofit health and performance based on four key areas: Leadership & Adaptability to help donors understand if a charity has clarity of purpose, Accountability & Finance to explain if they are transparent and fiscally capable, Culture & Community to show how they engage with their constituents, and Impact & Results to explain what they have accomplished.
“We are delighted to provide Pipeline Worldwide with third-party accreditation that validates their operational excellence,” said Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. “The Four-Star Rating is the highest possible rating an organization can achieve. We are eager to see the good work that Pipeline Worldwide can accomplish in the years ahead.”
“Our Four-Star Charity Navigator rating is further validation that our supporters can trust our commitment to good governance, but also that we’re using our donors’ gifts effectively,” said Jamie Nollette, Co-founder and Executive Director, Pipeline Worldwide. “We hope it will introduce our work to new supporters who can help us advance our mission to strengthen communities living in extreme poverty in Northern Uganda.”
For 2025, Pipeline Worldwide is moving forward to complete and launch programs at its Lonyi Village Innovation Learning Center and the Dean Riesen Opportunity Center. The training and jobs resulting from these investments will complement other initiatives focusing on WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), energy, emergency transport, equipment and supplies, and nutrition and food security. The projects planned for 2025 represent not just infrastructure and services, but the building blocks of dreams, opportunities, and transformed lives. Through the continued support of its partners, volunteers, and communities, Pipeline Worldwide remains committed to creating lasting positive change, one project at a time.
