Wise Giving Wednesday: Support BBB Wise Giving Alliance This Holiday Season

This holiday season, make a tax-deductible gift to help power free charity reports and donor tools that let millions of people give with confidence.

Your Gift Supports Free Charity Reports Donors Rely On

When considering your giving options this holiday season, consider supporting the BBB WGA.

Gifts to our organization help us continue to provide our free charity reports on both national and local organizations. These in-depth evaluative reports help donors like you ensure your contributions are well spent and go to trusted organizations.

Is BBB Wise Giving Alliance a Charity? Yes! And Your Gift Is Tax-Deductible

While our mission is unique among nonprofits, people may ask if BBB WGA is a charity and whether donations to the organization are tax-deductible.

Yes, BBB WGA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all donations to us are tax-deductible.

Your Donation Powers Donor Tools, Research, and Giving Guidance

Beyond our charity reports, your gifts support a wide range of programs that inform, empower, and strengthen the nonprofit sector, while deepening the public’s understanding of trends and topics in charitable giving.

Our work includes:

• AskGive, our AI tool that helps donors quickly access accurate information, facts, and data about charities. (AskGive will launch enhanced features in 2026.)
• Donor Trust Report, exploring how the public perceives and engages with the charitable sector, with topics including donor privacy, AI, and awareness of challenges faced by charities.
• Wise Giving Guide, covering the big topics donors care about, such as how to avoid misleading appeals or clickbait fundraising. The Wise Giving Guide is now available in a digital version for your convenience.
• Standards Revision. In 2026, BBB WGA will continue our revision of the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability, to help keep our reports on the cutting edge by addressing issues such as social media and technology in the ever-changing digital age.

We Never Charge Charities for Evaluations—And Our Reports Are Always Free to the Public

BBB Wise Giving Alliance does not charge charities for the accreditation evaluations it completes. Our reports are free on our website (Give.org) and indicate if the charity meets or does not meet BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

Ways to Give: Credit Card, Stock, Crypto, or Donor-Advised Fund

In addition to monetary contributions using a credit card or PayPal, our donations page enables you to donate stock, cryptocurrency, or directly from your donor advised fund.

Thank you for standing with us this holiday season. Together, we can continue to build a more trusted, transparent, and giving experience for all.
