president’sMESSAGE

                  e at BBB Wise Giving Alliance hope all our
                 readers are hanging on and continuing to manage
the stressors that have been affecting all of us for more than a year
now. The pandemic, politics, economic upheaval, work (or lack
thereof), and caring for children and other family members have
certainly made for a memorable, if not overwhelming, start to the
decade. Hopefully you can take a few minutes to relax and read
about some of the exciting work we have been doing at BBB WGA
and an update on the direction of charitable giving in the U.S.,
which may be surprising given the turmoil of 2020.
    As always, we continue to work hard to evaluate charities
so donors can keep making sound giving choices. In this edition
of the Wise Giving Guide, we will begin by looking at a couple of
the other projects we’ve been working on. First, we look at the
results of our June 2021 Donor Trust Special Report, with this
edition focusing on charity impact. Next, we turn to our very own
GiveSafely.io, a platform offering donors a secure method of
giving via cryptocurrency or credit card using blockchain
technology. Finally, we examine the results of Giving USA 2021,
the highly reputable, yearly report on contribution statistics
in the U.S. philanthropic sector.

    A LOOK AT OUR
    DONOR TRUST REPORT
    ON CHARITY IMPACT

C                      harities depend on supporters to pursue
    their mission, and supporters—whether they are private
    foundations, corporations, or individual donors—want
    to know that their contributions make a difference.
       In a data-driven society, some institutional funders
    seek to identify impactful organizations in a quantifiable
    way. How individual donors perceive the issue of charity
    impact is less understood. Our recent Give.org Donor
    Trust Report on Charity Impact explored how the
    donating public understands the term “charity impact”
                                                                                     While it has become a common assumption that
                                                                                 donors want to support highly impactful organizations,
                                                                                 survey results showed that the donating public does not
                                                                                 have a clear understanding of what the term means.
                                                                                 47% of survey participants indicated they are
                                                                                 either unclear or do not know what “charity

                                                                                 claimed they know what a charity means when talking
                                                                                 about “impact.”
                                                                                     The results were also a reminder that charities
    and how important “impact” is in their giving process.                       need to be aware not only of what they say, but also
    The report provided results of a survey of more than                         of what potential donors hear. When it comes to
    2,100 adults in the United States (as well as a separate                     the term “charity impact,” it turns out people from
    survey of more than 1,000 adults in Canada) and                              different generations and giving levels may respond
    explored how individual donors perceive charity impact.                      to different messages.

How to Read the List
    of National Charities

    T
              he following is an alphabetical listing of the charities
              that are the subjects of BBB Wise Giving Alliance
              evaluations. The list includes organizations that have
              requested to be evaluated as well as those that have
    received the highest volume of inquiries. The BBB WGA
    receives inquiries through the mail, phone, e-mail and referrals
    from local Better Business Bureaus.

    Please note the following explanations
    about this list:
    Name Inclusion: Inclusion on this list should not be interpreted
    as approval or disapproval of a charity. The information in this
    listing is intended solely to assist donors in exercising their
    own judgment.
    Name Omission: Omission from this list should not be interpreted as meaning that a
    charity meets or does not meet standards. In general, it simply means that the BBB WGA
    has not developed a report because it has not received recent inquiries about a charity
    or a charity has not requested to be evaluated.
    Latest Results: This list reflects the latest charity report results as of July 22, 2021.
    Charity reports are available until their expiration dates, generally two years after their
    completion. All reports are based on the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for
    Charity Accountability.

    Are you looking for a national charity that’s not on our list? Ask us about specific national
    charities not currently included. Encourage national charities we don’t currently report
    about to contact us about enrolling online (there’s never a charge for evaluation). In either
    way, you can help expand the list.

    Note to readers about “see entry for”
    Charities sometimes use several names in their materials. In some cases the variation is
    only slight, such as using an acronym for the full name. In other cases, the names have no
    self-evident connection, as, for example, the official corporate name and a name used in
    fund raising. In still others, different individual names may denote different programs of
    the same organization. This list includes all names currently used by a charity, but the
    evaluation status of that charity appears only under the main entry. White horizontal bars
    indicate an alternate name, and refer you to the evaluation listing.

    requests for information or has declined to be evaluated in relation to
    the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Charity participation in the
    BBB WGA’s review is voluntary. However, without the requested information,
    it is not possible to determine whether these charities adhere to all of the
    BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. The BBB WGA encourages
    charities to disclose accountability information beyond that typically
    included in financial statements and government filings, in order to
    demonstrate transparency and strengthen public trust in the charitable
    sector. The majority of national charities contacted by BBB WGA provide
    information and participate in the BBB WGA’s evaluation program.

    Rn  Review in Progress — Charities with a n in the column marked   R
    Review in Progress are being routinely evaluated based on current materials
    provided by the organization to the BBB WGA.
