Mission Statement

The mission of The SCOTTY Fund is to provide support to children, and the families of those children, who have life-threatening or critical illnesses. The execution of that mission is accomplished with two primary goals in mind. 1) To help erase the financial burden associated with a critical illness. Grant money is given to children for medical expenses, transportation, and other ancillary costs associated with the illness. 2) To provide family support including, but not limited to, nightly meals, child care, errand running, grocery shopping, and sometimes just a shoulder to lean on. This support cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents, but is truly invaluable to The SCOTTY Fund families. This support is provided primarily to children and families in the greater Danbury, CT area, including Bethel, Danbury, Brookfield, Easton, Newtown, New Milford, New Fairfield, Redding, and Ridgefield. Since 1996, The SCOTTY Fund has provided in excess of $3.0 Million in aid.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
