How does AIP decide which organizations to cover in the Charity Rating Guide?
A. We strive to cover many of the groups that AIP members are most interested in. We do require that the organization s programs be of interest to donors nationally and that its annual budget be at least $500,000. AIP does not report on churches, synagogues, mosques, political action committees (PAC s), fraternal clubs, colleges, or local institutions, such as hospitals and museums. AIP does report on the separate human and social welfare organizations of religious groups.
