Disclosing financial, governance, results reporting, and fundraising information is the first step in the process of becoming accredited by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. There is no charge to charities for this accountability assessment.

While not all charities that disclose are able to meet standards, BBB WGA works with organizations to help address issues raised in our evaluation. In addition, disclosing information lets donors see which standards a charity does meet so that it can make informed giving decisions.

BBB WGA wants to work with organizations to make sure they are aware of our charity review process and if they do not meet our standards, make them aware of what changes could be made to strengthen their organization.
