CharityNavigator Score: 67.75

The Rotary Club is probably the best-known charity that has ever existed, no doubt a significant factor in its ability to raise funds without tapping the government.

Recognized by the cog-shaped signs placed in communities large and small all over the world, Rotary clubs support an enormous variety of local fundraising efforts and volunteer projects throughout the globe, which the foundation helps collect donations for.

While the organization spends 7% of its budget raising cash, its incredible yearly budget of more than $275 million is one of the highest there is, so the efforts have consistently yielded fruit.
