Donate for a Cause IS NOT listed as a business or charity on the BBB site. The DFAC home page indicates ARDA member and BBB. ARDA site lists complaints.
WHAT'S THE DEAL???????
BBB membership is nothing but a paid membership organization for COMMERCIAL (i.e., FOR PROFIT) entities. ANY commercial entity willing to pay BBB membership fees can "join". Why would DFAC bother to join (and / or PAY to join) BBB in the first place, since DFAC is NOT even a commercial enterprise anyhow?
I guess I'm not at all "getting" the nature of your apparent concern...
