Charitable Organization Complaints
Programs that accept and, where possible, attempt to resolve complaints regarding the licensing, fund raising practices, use of contributions (how much money actually goes to the charity's clients or what the funds are used to support), unethical or improper conduct of personnel or other inappropriate business practices of registered charities and other nonprofit organizations that solicit funds from the public.
Charitable Organization Registration
