We are pleased to announce the Death with Dignity National Center is an accredited Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance Charity!

Receiving BBB accreditation is the culmination of a demanding process. For this distinguished accreditation we underwent a comprehensive evaluation by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, the nation's most experienced charity evaluator.

The standards go beyond what government regulators require, and the evaluation process was anything but superficial. It involved rigorous scrutiny of our governance, effectiveness, finances, solicitations, and informational materials. Only organizations which meet all 20 Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability are eligible to participate in the seal program.

"National charities that display the BBB Wise Giving Alliance seal can do so with pride," says Art Taylor, President and CEO of the Alliance. "Not only are they attesting to their organizations’ adherence to sound standards, they are helping to increase donor confidence and strengthen public trust in giving."

We are proud to receive this accreditation and display the BBB seal on our website and other materials. This seal helps us demonstrate to you our commitment to accountability and ethical practices—the values you look for when deciding which charities to support. Now, more than ever, you can feel confident you support a national nonprofit committed to good governance, transparency to our donors, and fiscal responsibility when you donate to Death with Dignity National Center.
