As our nation continues to battle with COVID-19, many charities are also continuing to struggle with making ends meet. Whether it is the loss of revenue associated with in-person fundraising events or an overall reduction in donations, charities need your support and generosity now. The last quarter of the year is often the most important for charities in terms of the volume of anticipated donations. So, don’t wait until your favorite charity asks, take the initiative and make your donation as soon as you can. But, of course, we urge you to verify if the organization meets the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Use our search engine on our homepage to look for both nationally-soliciting and regionally-soliciting charities that have been the subject of a report by either the BBB Wise Giving Alliance or a Better Business Bureau. In addition, I offer you to view the following recorded announcement which notes the importance of supporting charities during difficult times. Please listen to this message and give generously.
