We're a 4 star charity and we couldn't be more proud
Charity Navigator is an esteemed and trusted site where people who want to give can be sure that the organizations they wish to donate to can be entrusted to put their gift to good use. The rating system, which goes from 1-4 stars, allows donors to easily navigate the sometimes murky waters of non-profit organizations. Only organizations which uphold the highest standards of honesty, transparency, and accountability are awarded the 4 star rating. Giving to a charity with a 4 star rating will assure that your gift can be trusted in their hands to support the cause that means so much to you.
SAMO Fund's commitment to honesty, transparency, and accountability has secured our rating as a 4 star charity, the best of the best. We are proud that our donors can trust us to create programs that reflect their passion for the land, wildlife, and ecology of the Santa Monica Mountains, and continue to be an upstanding member of their community. SAMO Fund, in partnership with the National Park Service, will continue to strive for the sustainability and prosperity of this precious land and endlessly endeavor to open young minds and hearts to the importance, the wonder, and the beauty of the outdoors.
