Charity & Donor Resources

Better Business Bureau strives to promote public confidence in charities and encourage donors to Give With TrustSM.

Our standards-based reports and donor tips help donors make informed giving decisions while providing charities an opportunity to earn an accreditation that validates their ethics and accountability.

Charity Information & Resources

Together, BBB and BBB Wise Giving Alliance collaborate with national, regional and local charities to help them achieve high ethical standards and strengthen donor trust. To build a stronger charitable sector, the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability address four key areas of accountability: governance, results reporting, financial management and truthful, transparent communications. There is no charge to charities for the accountability assessment that verifies whether a charity meets all BBB Charity Standards. An organization becomes a BBB Accredited Charity when it is confirmed that all 20 BBB Charity Standards are met.

BBB Charity Review reports are available on Give.org – find your organization today!

BBB Standards for Charity Accountability aim to verify trustworthiness and promote best practices.
