Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how charities communicate, serve supporters, and share information.
At BBB Wise Giving Alliance, we approach charity AI collaboration thoughtfully—working with trusted partners to explore tools that strengthen transparency, donor confidence, and responsible use of technology.
Just as importantly, we share what we learn to help charities and the broader nonprofit sector think through how AI can be used responsibly.
Our Approach to Responsible AI Collaboration
AI helps extend the work our team already does best: providing clear, vetted guidance so donors can make confident decisions and charities can improve their practices and demonstrate their trustworthiness.
- Accuracy & Transparency: Our tools rely on Give.org’s vetted content and show sources whenever possible.
- Mission Alignment: We design systems to reflect our tone, values, and commitment to neutrality.
- Privacy & Security: We follow strict data boundaries and expect enterprise-grade controls from collaborators.
We also share insights from these collaborations with BBB Accredited Charities and the broader nonprofit sector, offering guidance on responsible, mission-aligned uses of AI.
What Nonprofit AI Collaboration Means in Practice
Our collaborations:
- Seek to further our mission of helping donors give wisely while strengthening trust in the charitable sector
- Focus on tools relevant to donors and charities
- Emphasize ethical and secure implementation
- Support sector education and learning
In some cases, BBB Accredited Charities may receive discounted access to tools developed by collaborators. We prioritize transparency in these arrangements.
