Our Alliance

Charting Impact is led by three organizations that have worked across the nonprofit and philanthropic sector for decades.  BBB Wise Giving Alliance, GuideStar USA, and Independent Sector each bring unique strengths and capabilities to this joint effort.

BBB Wise Giving Alliance

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance seeks to help donors make informed giving decisions and to advance high standards among publicly soliciting charities by producing reports that specify whether the charity meets 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.  There is no charge to the charity for the accountability evaluation and the resulting reports are available to the public for free at www.give.org.

GuideStar USA

GuideStar—the premier source of nonprofit data—connects people and organizations with information on the programs and finances of more than 1.8 million IRS-recognized nonprofits. GuideStar serves a wide audience inside and outside the nonprofit sector, including individual donors, nonprofit leaders, grantmakers, government officials, academic researchers, and the media. www.guidestar.org

Independent Sector

Independent Sector is a leadership network of 600 nonprofits, foundations, and corporate giving programs committed to advancing the common good. Our nonpartisan coalition leads, strengthens, and mobilizes the sector; we advocate for public policies that fortify our communities; and we create unparalleled resources so staff, boards, and volunteers can further their missions and increase their impact.
