Benefits of an Accountability Wizard Review

The Accountability Wizard review advances your organization's mission by making you more transparent and accountable to your donors. Especially in today’s economy, when organizations are competing more than ever for public support, a review with the Charities Review Council helps a nonprofit stand out, build public trust, and improve its visibility and reputation with potential donors and grantmakers.

Specifically, the Accountability Wizard review offers your nonprofit the opportunity to:

  • Engage your board and staff in accountability issues, in order to create a shared culture of accountability and transparency;
  • Access technical assistance to assist you in aligning your organizational practices and procedures with the Accountability Standards;
  • Earn the “Meets Standards” seal (by meeting all of the Accountability Standards), and use it in your annual report, marketing and fundraising materials, and on your website and GiveMN.org profile to set your organization apart.
  • Build trust with donors by earning the Meets Standards seal, your organization will be recognized as one of the most trustworthy charities on the Smart Givers Network website and in our semiannual newsletter;
