Charities Review Council

Charities Review Council Transforming philanthropy by building donor and nonprofit relationships for strong, vibrant, and just communities. We are donor partners.

Charities Review Council’s mission is to mobilize informed donors and accountable nonprofits for the greater good. Through cloud-based nonprofit technical assistance, responsive customer service, nonprofit learning communities, and donor education, we are building a culture of philanthropy where donors and nonprofits are engaged partners, working together toward stronger communities. The Charities

Review Council knows that all donors are investors. We collaborate with both donors and grantmakers to ensure that every precious dollar goes to strong, ethical, and trustworthy organizations. We work hard to support individual donors, providing resources to help you make informed giving decisions. We are nonprofit partners. We meet organizations where they are. With a combination of cloud-based technical assistance, non-judgmental support, and robust resources, we provide a risk-free environment where organizations can begin our proprietary, innovating Accountability Wizard process to align their internal practices with widely-accepted standards of nonprofit strength and accountability. We help nonprofit leaders build and communicate their organizations’ internal strength so they can achieve their goals. As a result of our collaborative work with nonprofits and grantmakers, we are able to provide donors with smart giving choices so they can continue to make strong investments with every dollar donated, contributing to healthier communities for all.

Crowdfunding can be a powerful way to help in times of need - but informed giving still matters. This alert from the Minnesota Attorney General highlights steps donors can take to protect their generosity, including verifying organizations and donating directly through an organization's website. The Meets Standards® nonprofit search on smartgivers.org can help donors find nonprofits that have been independently reviewed for transparency, accountability, and responsible fundraising.

The Attorney General’s Office is sharing this alert to help stop bad actors from taking advantage of people’s generosity, and to help ensure fundraisers understand their potential obligations under Minnesota law.
