The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan New York located at 257 Park Avenue South, New York, NY, 10010, is a non-profit organization that serves the New York area through three offices that provide reliability reports on businesses and charities, help resolve consumer complaints, provides consumer information and promotes business ethics. The Metro New York BBB, through its affiliated Foundation, also houses the New York Philanthropic Advisory Service (NYPAS) that reports on regional charities in the State of New York and specifies if they meet BBB charity standards.

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance, located at 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800, Arlington, VA, 22203, was formed through the merger of the National Charities Information Bureau (NCIB) and the Council of Better Business Bureaus' Foundation, which housed the Philanthropic Advisory Service. The Alliance produces reports on the most-asked-about national charities and specifies if they meet the BBB Standards for Charitable Solicitations. These standards address, among other things, charity financial, governance, and fund raising issues.
