Why the Accountability Standards® matter ...

Donors, nonprofit leaders, and funders share how the Standards® guide them.

It’s easier to find how national organizations use their donor dollars than smaller, local organizations. The Meets Standards seal addresses that gap, helping me confidently decide where to give.

Rhonda Mains, Donor since 2013

Accountability Wizard is a fantastic road map! It was invaluable to have an objective sounding board for those sometimes-uncomfortable internal conversations about change.

Tim Puffer, Executive Director, Operation HELP

The Meets Standards seal matters to us and our donors. The certification process allows us to review our standards regularly and demonstrate good stewardship of donor gifts.

Jessie Hendel, Executive Director, Alliance Housing

We’ve completed the Accountability Wizard 3 times, with plans to continue! We see a marked improvement in our governance, financial activity, and fundraising practices.

Willy Tully, Development Director, Wilderness Inquiry
