BBB Names College Fund a Top Charity

December 2, 2015

At the American Indian College Fund we know there are many charities and causes that are deserving of your support. As part of a campaign to encourage donors to give wisely, the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (BBB WGA) evaluates national charities against comprehensive standards. The BBB WGA also runs an advertisement in USA Today listing approximately 1,300 nationally soliciting charities it features as part of its Wise Giving Alliance, in which the College Fund is included.

The BBB WGA also posts charity reports on its web site to help donors make informed giving decisions and promote high standards of conduct among charity organizations soliciting public contributions.

Thank you for your continued and confident support of the College Fund as we make higher education a reality for American Indian students. We wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.
