The first step in helping BBB tell your story is completing the free evaluation based on the nationally-recognized BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability. The free evaluation and report will give potential donors and volunteers an idea of how informed your board is, whether or not you review internally, how your funds are used, the truthfulness of your appeals, and how transparent you are.
Nonprofits that meet all 20 Standards earn BBB Accredited Charity status, representing commitment to the highest standards in ethics and transparency.
