CharityWatch ratings are known as the most stringent in the sector. Labor Day is a great day to honor and celebrate the contributions and achievements of American workers with a donation to a CharityWatch Top-Rated charity.

Labor Day is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. The holiday was created in the 19th century by the labor movement and became a federal holiday in 1894.

Examples of Top-Rated charities from three of our 32 categories include:

CancerCare works to improve lives by helping cope with, and manage, the emotional and practical challenges of cancer.



GiveDirectly works to reduce poverty by providing financial assistance directly to those in need.



World Resources Institute works to create change that improves people’s lives and ensures the natural world can thrive.
