The American Lung Association of the Southwest has received four stars (the highest possible rating) from Charity Navigator, one of the leading charity watchdog organizations. Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, wrote: "Approximately a quarter of the charities we evaluate have received our highest rating, indicating that the American Lung Association of the Southwest executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America.
