Guidance in charitable giving
Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance
BBB Wise Giving Alliance provides charity reports, which help donors review charities and find a trustworthy charity to support. We also conduct charity assessments to help charities improve their practices and demonstrate trust.
Charity Navigator
Charity Navigator, America's largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities, rates the financial health and accountability & transparency of >6,000 of America's largest charities.
Charity Navigator works to guide intelligent giving. We help charitable givers make intelligent giving decisions by providing information on over five thousand charities and by evaluating the financial health and accountability and transparency of each of these charities. We ensure our evaluations are widely used by making them easy to understand and available to the public free of charge. By guiding intelligent giving, we aim to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace, in which givers and the charities they support work in tandem to overcome our nation's most persistent challenges.
