Watchdog Groups Roundtable - Topic for November 4, 2014

This meeting is the Autumn Roundtable, and the topic is watchdog groups.  The primary watchdog groups are BBB, GuideStar, Charity Navigator, United Way, Dun & Bradstreet, and many other regional and local ones. At this meeting, we will discuss issues related to intersecting and non-intersecting metrics, how watchdog group ratings affect grants and workplace giving/corporate matches, how watchdog groups metrics and ratings affect individual donors, and which watchdog groups have the most influence over donors.

During the discussion, the meeting facilitators will determine points that require follow-up expertise and will schedule a speaker to address them at the Autumn Expert Follow-up meeting December 2.

Please note the Autumn Roundtable meeting is the October meeting, but because of overbooking at United Way, has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, rather than the usual 4th Tuesday of the month.
