The index is based on four metrics: • Favorability: The percentage of adults with a favorable opinion of the nonprofit. • Trust: The percentage of adults who trust the nonprofit to do the right thing. • Community Impact: The percentage of adults who say the nonprofit has a positive impact on the communities they serve. • Donation Consideration: The percentage of adults who would consider donating to the nonprofit. Each one of these numbers was added together in order to determine the index score. For example, take Nonprofit X. • +50 Net Favorability (Total Favorable – Total Unfavorable) • +24 Net Trust (Total Trust – Total Do Not Trust) • +32 Net Community Impact (Total Positive Impact – Total Negative Impact) • +2 Net Donation Consideration (Total Likely to Donate – Total Unlikely to Donate) • 50 + 24 + 32 + 2 = 108 (Nonprofit X’s index score) Methodology: This poll was conducted between January 27-29, 2020 among a national sample of 4,402 adults. The interviews were conducted online, and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on age, educational attainment, gender, race, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of +/- 1%. Each nonprofit was seen by a quarter of the sample (~1,100 adults), with a margin of error of +/-3%. 5 CONTENTS Top 10 Nonprofits by Key 1 Performance Indicators Top 10 Nonprofits by 2 Demographics Better Understanding 3 Donation Behavior 6 MOST LOVED NONPROFITS Top 10 Most Known Nonprofits Before diving into questions that asked respondents to rate nonprofits and charities on specific metrics, they were asked to write-in the names of top-of-mind organizations.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 Annual Report BRINGING COMMUNITIES HOPE A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN For 138 years, the American Red Cross has served as a beacon of hope to people facing disasters and other emergencies. It’s an honor to be able to help millions of people each year during their time of greatest need, but nothing we do would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteers, donors, partners and employees who work tirelessly—day after day and year after year. We are deeply grateful for your support. Whether installing smoke alarms in vulnerable neighborhoods, responding to the significant damage brought about by storms such as Hurricanes Florence and Michael, or delivering food and relief items in the aftermath of deadly wildfires in California, in fiscal year 2019, Red Crossers were there to provide safe shelter … mental and spiritual support … hugs … and hope. In addition to our domestic disaster response efforts, internationally, the American Red Cross also responds to disasters and crises around the world, including last year’s destructive wildfires in Greece, deadly cyclones in Mozambique, drought and flash flooding in Afghanistan, and the ongoing global migration crisis. And we remain active internationally with disaster preparedness and disease prevention initiatives, including leading a successful measles and rubella vaccination campaign in Kenya. Since its inception in 2001, the Measles & Rubella Initiative has helped to save more than 21 million lives around the world through vaccinations. Of course, last year our humanitarian organization also trained millions of people in first aid, CPR and AED skills, and provided about 40 percent of our nation’s blood supply.
