IS-BBB Advisory Group on Nonprofit Effectiveness

The initial work for Charting Impact was done by separate advisory groups from Independent Sector and BBB Wise Giving Alliance; those two initiatives merged in the fall of 2009, at which time GuideStar also joined as a partner in this collaborative effort.
