Our canine mascot, Obi, is pictured with a stack of Wise Giving Guide magazines. Obi comes from a greyhound rescue organization that arranged his adoption with a BBB WGA staff member.  Our magazine includes articles of interest to donors and a list summarizing our latest charity evaluation results. It is conveniently available to download from our website and is also mailed to those who support our work.

BBB Wise Giving Alliance does not charge charities for the accreditation evaluations it completes. Also, the resulting reports, indicating if the charity meets or does not meet BBB Charity Standards, are available free on our website, Give.org. Your support helps us carry out these activities as well as other programs such as the weekly Heart of Giving Podcast hosted by BBB WGA President & CEO, Art Taylor.

Pease join Obi this holiday season in support of his favorite cause, BBB Wise Giving Alliance! In addition to cash, our new donation page enables you to donate stock, cryptocurrency, or directly from your donor advised fund.
