Mission Statement

At Anna’s Pals, our mission is to enhance the quality of life for hospitalized children and their families, particularly those facing immunocompromised conditions. As a dedicated and respected advocate, we have evolved from our origins at Boston Children’s Hospital to extend our reach to other medical facilities. Our initiatives include providing essential resources such as meals, snacks, toys, games, and comforting bedside distractions for children undergoing long-term cancer treatment. Currently, our focus lies on the development of The Beach House Complex project, aimed at expanding and enhancing our support for these vulnerable patients and their families. Given the limitations imposed by their suppressed immune systems, these children are often isolated from typical childhood experiences such as school, playdates, and celebrations. The Beach House Complex will offer them a unique outing opportunity that would otherwise be inaccessible, providing a much-needed respite and sense of normalcy.

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.
