SANDAN Updates

Please take our poll.

Question of the Month ~  SANDAN would like to know about your experience with the BBB Charity Seal of Approval process. 

The San Diego Better Business Bureau is offering their Seal of Approval to charities, evaluating local charitable

organizations for compliance using a set of charity accountability standards developed by the national council and the Wise Giving Alliance. An organization must complete an extensive application and documentation process. Upon review, if an organization qualifies, the BBB grants the organization a nonexclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable license to use and display the Seal for a fee under specific terms and conditions. The purpose of the seal is to assist donors in making informed giving decisions.
