Mission Statement

Your investment supports therapeutic, educational, and career training programs in brick and mortar locations, which are purposely designed in the ways individuals with Down syndrome learn best. Programs are always available to our families at NO CHARGE: made possible by your commitment. Donors like you are helping more than 25,000 participants achieve and believe with confidence: the “ABCs” of GiGi’s Playhouse! GiGi’s Playhouse make a lifelong commitment to all of our participants, parents and siblings: one of unwavering positive support. Individuals with Down syndrome “have” Down syndrome every day of their lives. They get no breaks and no days off, and perceptions of a Down syndrome diagnosis can challenge basic dignity and acceptance. Through contributions like yours, GiGi’s Playhouse can educate more people and help change inaccurate perceptions. Daily actions to foster more acceptance and opportunities will ensure that present and future generations truly succeed. You are helping us impact more children and adults around the world, and we are forever grateful for your commitment to our families.

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.
