How Charities Can Enroll
The Better Business Bureau performs charity reviews and develops reports on both local and national charities. Reviews on local charities are performed by the BBB serving Louisville, Western Kentucky, and Southern Indiana. Reviews on charities that are national in scope are performed by Wise Giving Alliance which is the charity review affiliate of the Council of Better Business Bureaus.
If you are a local charity interested in participating in charity review please contact Joe Spalding, Director of Charity Review at jspalding@louisville.bbb.org or (502) 588-0033 or in writing to BBB Charity Review, 844 S. Fourth Street, Louisville, KY 40203.
If your organization is a national charity that solicits nationwide and wishes to be the subject of a Wise Giving Alliance report that will appear on give.org, click here to access the National Charity Enrollment Form.
