The Better Business Bureau 

BBB sees trust as a function of two primary factors – integrity and performance. Integrity includes respect, ethics and intent. Performance speaks to a business’s track record of delivering results in accordance with BBB standards and/or addressing customer concerns in a timely, satisfactory manner. 

BBB ensures that high standards for trust are set and maintained. We exist so consumers and businesses alike have an unbiased source to guide them on matters of trust. We provide educational information and expert advice that is free of charge and easily accessible. 

BBB Accreditation is an honor – and not every business is eligible. Businesses that meet our high standards are invited to join BBB. Businesses deemed to meet Accreditation Standards are presented to the BBB's Board for review and acceptance as a BBB Accredited Business. All BBB accredited businesses have agreed to live up to our Standards for Trust, a comprehensive set of best practices for how businesses should treat the public in a fair and honest manner. 

With Accreditation, Make-A-Wish Arizona is also a recognized member of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. Visit give.org for more information on the Wise Giving Alliance. 

BBB does not compare businesses against each other but rather evaluates businesses against our standards – and our standards clearly speak to the character and competence of an organization. BBB is the resource to turn to for objective, unbiased information on businesses. Our network of BBBs allows us to monitor and take action on thousands of business issues affecting consumers at any given time.

Charity Navigator 

Our sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency have earned Make-A-Wish Arizona the distinction as a "3-Star Charity" from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator.  

Since 2002, using objective, data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator award fiscally responsible organizations a 3-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics, focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, to its ratings methodology.  These “Accountability & Transparency” metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which charities have “best practices” that minimize the chance of unethical activities and whether they freely share basic information about their organization with their donors and other stakeholders.  

Make-A-Wish Arizona supporters should feel confident that their hard-earned dollars are being used efficiently and responsibly with this distinction. Visit our Charity Navigator page to learn more.
