While there is no universal agreement on the best way to address poverty, the diversity of available options among charities provide opportunities that help people in their struggle to improve their situation for themselves and their children. We encourage donors to find out more about the charities they choose to support and learn how they are seeking to address the problems they describe so well. And, of course, take the time to verify if the charity meets the 20 holistic BBB Standards for Charity Accountability by reviewing the available reports on Give.org.

As part of our Building Trust Video Series, we are pleased to provide the following video that features Joshua Tripp, COO & CFO of the Grameen Foundation (a BBB Accredited Charity) which helps the world’s poor by providing financial services, information on agriculture and health, and helps poverty-focused organizations improve their operations by providing mobile-based management tools and other technology resources.



We are always working with charities to publish or update reports for donors. Visit Give.org or local BBBs to check out any charity before giving. Our recently evaluated charities include:

• Aid for AIDS International
• Hooved Animal Humane Society
• National Foundation for Cancer Research

Finally, remember to let us know by going to https://give.org/ask-us-about-a-charity1/ if you are interested in seeing a report on a charity not on the list and we will do our best to produce one.
