LOCAL NONPROFIT DIRECTORY The Better Business Bureau accredits charities that have decided their vision can only be achieved by establishing a relationship of trust between a cause and the community. These charities have demonstrated an effort to meet BBB’s Standards for Charity Accountability. The following charities have completed the rigorous process of BBB Accreditation and have been deemed active, honest, engaged and effective. The charities listed as Accredited Charity Seal Holders have taken an extra step toward their commitment with BBB by formally adhering to BBB’s Code of Business Practices. Charities listed as WGA Ac-
credited Charity Seal Holders and WGA Accredited Charities are accredited by the Wise Giving Alliance. WGA issues the BBB Standards used for local charities, and applies those same Standards to nationally soliciting charities. The charities in these two sections are accredited by WGA and have a known local presence. Inclusion to or omission from this list should not be interpreted as approval or disapproval of a charity. The nonprofits listed under Other are not BBB accredited, but are organizations Cincy Magazine supports. The descriptive categories with each nonprofit are the cause area provided by the IRS and do not reflect that opinions of the magazine.
