If a charity isn evaluated by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, does that mean its not legitimate?
Absolutely not. Since there are more than one million charities that have received charitable tax exempt status form the IRS, we can’t report on them all. Omission from this list has no negative significance; it simply means that we have not evaluated the organization. Either we have not received inquiries about the subject national charity, or the organization has not approached the Alliance, at its own initiative, to request that an evaluation be completed.
