At Charities Review Council...

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 partner with nonprofits to strengthen their internal policies, practices, and procedures with our Accountability Wizard, aligning to co-created standards of nonprofit strength and accountability.  By using our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Toolkit, nonprofits have the tools they need to build a more effective and reflective organization from the inside-out.

We are donor partners.

Charities Review Council knows that all donors are investors. We collaborate with donors and grantmakers to ensure that every precious dollar goes to strong, ethical, and trustworthy nonprofits.
