The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) has recently been reaccredited with National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations- the highest standards for philanthropic excellence.
We strive to support the causes Fayette County cares about from education to arts and culture to health and human services. National Standards says that we meet the most rigorous standards in philanthropy and is a promise to our community that we’ll continue to do this good work together, right here in Fayette County.
National Standards is not mandatory. We chose to go above and beyond by affirming our commitment to excellence and accountability. Our accreditation provides assurance that we have sound policies and practices in place. In short, it means we meet the highest standards for local giving.
To receive accreditation with National Standards, the CFFC submitted our policies and procedures to a rigorous review of 41 National Standards in six key areas of community foundation operations, including donor services, investment management, grantmaking and administration.
The National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations program was established in 2000 in cooperation with the Council on Foundations. For more information about National Standards, visit www.cfstandards.org
