BBB & Charity Navigator

The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance has named Boys Town a BBB Wise Giving Alliance Accredited Charity. Boys Town voluntarily underwent a rigorous evaluation process of governance, effectiveness, finances and solicitations, and informational materials. Boys Town passed the evaluation and met all of the Alliance’s Standards for Charity Accountability. These standards go beyond what government regulators require. Boys Town is a 50-year member of the Nebraska Better Business Bureau, and was awarded the chapter’s BBB Integrity Award in 2006 for its ethical business practices and continuous commitment to helping at-risk children and their families.

“National charities that display the BBB Wise Giving Alliance seal can do so with pride,” said Art Taylor, President and CEO of the Alliance. “Not only are they attesting to their organization’s adherence to sound standards, they are helping to increase donor confidence and strengthen public trust in giving.
