Tri-State BBB Charity Seal Participants

Local charities that are currently participating in the Tri-State BBB's Charity Seal Program are listed below.

Inclusion in this list means that:

  1. The Tri-State BBB evaluated materials provided by these organizations and concluded that these charities met the Standards for Charity Accountability in effect at the time of the review, and
  2. Following the evaluation, the charities listed below chose to apply for the BBB Charity Seal. To use the seal logo on its website and in printed materials, a charity pays a tax-deductible fee, which support Tri-State BBB's efforts in community outreach and education, and signs a license agreement.

Participation in the seal program is completely voluntary, and the BBB's process for reviewing and publishing its charity evaluations is the same for seal participants and non-participants alike. There is no charge to charities for an evaluation by the Tri-State BBB, and the resulting report is freely accessible to the public on bbb.org/us/in/evansville.
