Fight CRC received a score of 95.3 out of 100 overall based on FY2016 reports, with 100 percent score for accountability and transparency, giving it the highest score amongst all colorectal cancer charities reviewed by Charity Navigator.

自 2002 年以来，Charity Navigator 通过客观分析，只授予对财务最负责的组织四星评级。2011 年，Charity Navigator 在其评级方法中增加了 17 项指标，重点关注治理和道德实践以及公开性措施。这些 "责任与透明度 "指标占慈善机构总体评级的50%，揭示了哪些慈善机构的运作符合行业最佳实践，以及它们是否对捐赠者和利益相关者公开。2016 年 6 月 1 日，Charity Navigator 将其对各慈善机构财务健康状况的评级方法升级为 CN 2.1。这些改进进一步证实了四星级慈善机构的财务健康状况。

“Fight Colorectal Cancer’s exceptional 4-star rating sets it apart from its peers and demonstrates its trustworthiness to the public,” according to Michael Thatcher, President & CEO of Charity Navigator. “Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of our 4-star rating. This adds Fight CRC to a preeminent group of charities working to overcome our world’s most pressing challenges. Based on its 4-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support Fight CRC.”
