BBB Charity Report Process
We will evaluate your submitted materials and contact you if more information or a clarification is needed. A draft BBB Charity Report will be created and sent to you for your review and comment before your Report is finalized and published on BBB websites such as bbb.org and give.org. Reports remain valid for two years, and can be updated during that time when needed.
