 BBB of Northern Indiana Charity Review Program

Your BBB of Northern Indiana began the charity review program in 1986. This program was created to increase public accountability on the part of Northeast Indiana charities and encourage wise giving on the part of northern Indiana residents.

 We produce and distribute reliable charity reviews on Northeast Indiana charities, informing the public about wise giving practices and encouraging charities to meet and maintain high ethical standards. We promote the 20 national standards for charity accountability through Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB). The 20 BBB charity standards were developed with professional advice from representative of the non profit community. Overall, the Standards encourage each charity to provide information voluntarily about the organization's purposes, programs, finances and governance. The report will tell if the organization meets our 20 Voluntary BBB Charity Standards.

Only Accredited Charities that meet all 20 BBB Standards can be invited to participate in the BBB Charity Seal Program.

 Arc Angels

This year marks the 23rd year that Easter Seals Arc has offered the stained glass Arc Angels.  This year the angels are a completely new design and are different colors.  Carefully handcrafted by our own clients, the glass fused angels would make wonderful gifts or to keep as a keepsake.  Donations from this project provide funds for the comprehensive array of programs and services offered at Easter Seals Arc.

Join the Presidents' Council

Easter Seals Presidents' Council was created in 1995 to honor the generous individuals who provide an annual outright gift of $1,000 or more to help meet the challenges we face.  Easter Seals' premier recognition club, the Presidents' Council, is comprised of friends who share the belief that everyone with a disability or developmental special need deserves access to quality, comprehensive and compassionate programs and services. 

 Planned Gifts

Easter Seals Arc of Northeast Indiana hosts a variety of ways that close constituents can leave a legacy by a planned gift.  Easter Seals Arc recognizes that the solicitation, planning and administration of a charitable gift are a complex process involving philanthropic, personal and financial and tax considerations.  It often involves professionals from various disciplines whose goals should include working together to structure a gift that achieves a fair and proper balance between the interests of the donor and the mission of Easter Seals Arc.  Donors who notify the organization of any type of an estate gift or choose to donate a current gift to be placed into the Arc Endowment fund become Arc Society members.
