Look for the green check mark on our charity reports, indicating that the organization has been found to meet all 20 of the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

There is no charge to charities for the accountability assessment. Charities complete a detailed online questionnaire, including information about internal governance policies, financial statements, and solicitation practices. After BBB WGA staff completes its analysis, the charity receives a draft report and is provided an opportunity to respond to any initial findings. The completed report is posted on Give.org for two years but can be amended based on new information provided.

To find a charity report on Give.org, use the search engine on our homepage.
