Charities Review Council - About the Charities Review Council

Who we are
The Charities Review Council is an independent resource for people who make contributions to support charities. We are dedicated to empowering you in making informed and thoughtful giving decisions, so that you can be more effective in helping charities advance their important community work. No other state has a similar independent resource for donors.

What we do
The Charities Review Council:

Provides tools and resources to the giving public to make informed giving choices:
- Online searchable charity review results
- Tips on how to give smart and safe
- Information on donating auto and goods
- Nonprofit accountability standards and resources
Reviews charities through its Accountability Wizard. Results of these reviews help the public determine the trustworthiness of a charity before giving. Review results are posted in the online Giving Guide.
Serves as educator to charities by providing tools and resources to organizations to meet and maintain the Council’s Accountability Standards.

How you can help
For charities to effectively pursue their public missions, they must be well managed and accountable. You can help charities advance their important community work by expecting accountability of the charities you support.

Encourage friends, family and neighbors to make independent thoughtful decisions about charitable giving by researching organizations before giving.

Invite charities that interest you to participate in a public Council review. An invitation from donors like you will let the charity know that an Accountability Wizard review is important to their donors.
