Many of us in the non-profit sector are involved charity work, volunteerism, and donate to other non-profit causes.  We also have donors supporting our own work.  I have found it can often be difficult to locate information relating to this work specific to our region (as I’ve discussed in previous posts).  

However, I’ve just learned of a resource that can benefit charities and donors, and supply information for non-profit administrators alike:  The Better Business Bureau is now offering a Charity Review service. This is similar to their business accreditation membership, except that in this case charities are asked to supply information that can help potential donors learn of their spending practices, etc.  But this is not just for the benefit of the donor.  Charities benefit from marketing with the BBB “stamp of approval” and have access to resources from the bureau.  It’s a win/win!  I recommend passing this information along to those who could benefit.  Visit us.bbb.org and link to “For Donors and Charities” for more information.
