BBB Charity Seal Program Fee Schedule

• If the BBB Foundation of Metro New York determines that a charity meets all Standards for Charity Accountability to become BBB Accredited, the charity has the option to apply for participation in the Seal Program.
• Seal applicants pay a fee and sign a licensing agreement in order to participate in the Seal Program.
• The fee schedule shown below is based on one year of participation. As BBB Reports are valid for two years, most new seal fees are billed for the full two year term of the report, although there may be exceptions. Seal fee amounts are as listed. We will be glad to discuss seal fee payment plans with you, if needed.
• The seal fee is determined by the amount of total contributions received by the charity during the past fiscal year.
• The total contribution amount refers to the total amount of public support. Public support includes, but is not limited to, individual contributions, contributions from corporate and private funders, in-kind support and federated giving (e.g., United Way), contributions received from special events, and government grants that are not contract or fee for service grants.
• Please call Charity Accountability Program at 212.358.2873 or email us at charity@newyork.bbb.org if you have any questions. We will be happy to assist you.
