BBB Wise Giving Alliance

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance (WGA) is an American charity monitoring organization.[1] Under previous names, it has been reporting on nationally soliciting charities since the 1920s.[2] BBB's Give.org evaluates charities, at no charge, using the 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability to help donors verify the trustworthiness of soliciting organizations and to strengthen charity practices. Resulting reports are freely accessible to the public at Give.org. These standards were developed with the help of the charitable community.[3]
