In 2024 bbb wga continued givesafely.io this is a secure trust based donation platform for bbb accredited charities (i.e., charities that meet bbb charity standards). It aims to protect donors' personal data by the use of the blockchain. Data is only passed on to the charity with the donors' consent. It also enables donors to donate with cryptocurrency. During 2024, bbb wga continued to hold no-charge video meetings with charity executives. This was intended to serve as a virtual workshop series where bbb accredited charities connect and interact with experts and colleagues in the charitable sector to discuss charitable sector issues of interest.the advancing collaboration project started in 2017 as an article series created in partnership with stanford social innovation review. These articles sought to encourage charities to seek out new partnerships as a way to reach larger audiences while sharing risk and helping achieve more than an organization can do alone. Bbb wga's website provides examples of collaborations from a variety of charities.
