"Most Credible" Charity
Americans recognize Special Olympics as the country's most credible charity, according to the results of a nationwide survey published in the December 13, 1996 issue of The Chronicle fo Philanthropy.

The Chronicle survey, conducted by Ny Lavelle & Associates of Dallas, Texas, noted that 73 percent of Americans rated Special Olympics "very honest or extremely honest." The organization outpaced its nearest competitor by 8 percentage points.

Special Olympics also placed high in other categories of the Chronicle survey. It ranked 13th overall as "Best Liked", 9th "most frequently donated to", and 10th most "strongly supported".
