In today's competitive funding landscape, trust is paramount for the success of any nonprofit organization. As donors become more discerning and seek reliable information before contributing, it is crucial for local nonprofits to prioritize transparent and ethical practices. Your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers a valuable tool in this pursuit – the (free) Charity Accreditation Evaluation.
