LOCAL CHARITIES EARN DONOR TRUST BY UNDERGOING AN EVALUATION AGAINST BBB'S NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED 20 STANDARDS OF CHARITY ACCOUNTABILITY. THESE STANDARDS ASSESS HOW ETHICALLY A CHARITY GOVERNS ITSELF, KEEPS ITS FINANCIAL RECORDS, AND FUNDRAISES. ON-SITE ASSISTANCE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALIZED ACTION PLANS, PHONE CONSULTATIONS, AND WEBSITE INFORMATION ASSIST CHARITIES WITH THE EVALUATION PROCESS.

DURING THE SAME PERIOD, BBB RECEIEVED 12,801 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ON CHARITIES FROM THE PUBLIC. THE BBB CENTER FOR ETHICS' CHARITY EDUCATION SERVICES IS THE LARGEST CHARITY REVIEW PROGRAM IN THE BBB SYSTEM.
THE TORCH AWARDS FOR MARKETPLACE ETHICS RECOGNIZE WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CHARITIES. THE TORCH AWARD APPLICATION SUBJECTS APPLICANTS TO INTENSE SCRUTINY OF THE WAY THEIR BUSINESS (CHARITY) TREATS ITS CUSTOMERS(DONORS), EMPLOYEES, VENDORS, AND ITS COMMUNITY. THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS, BUSINESSES AND CHARITIES DETERMINE IF THEY REALLY "WALK THE TALK" THEY THINK THEY DO WHEN IT COMES TO ETHICS. HONOREES AND RECIPIENTS ARE SELECTED BY AN INDEPEDENT PANEL OF JUDGES. IN 2021, THREE BUSINESSES WON THE TORCH AWARD. TWO NONOPROFIT ENTITIES ALSO WON A TORCH AWARD DURING THE YEAR.
