Everytown For Gun Safety is hiding from the Better Business Bureau

Shocking no one:


Did Not Disclose
This charitable organization either has not responded to written BBB requests for information or has declined to be evaluated in relation to BBB Standards for Charity Accountability.

The BBB encourages charities to disclose accountability information beyond that typically included in financial statements and government filings, in order to demonstrate transparency and strengthen public trust in the charitable sector.

For comparison, even their arch nemesis has BBB rated stuff for some of their things lol.




Wonder if Everytown is hiding because they don’t want former employees spamming the BBB?

You're right, of course. Your first attachment was from the BBB charity section, while your subsequent ones were from their commercial section (because the Wine Club, etc. aren't charities).


I still believe that no BBB website is the optimal place to research charities. Note that I could find no pages at all in the BBB charity section matching nra foundation, nra, or national rifle. (Charity Navigator covers both NRA and the Foundation, though their current legal problems have washed out their ratings.)
