“This is a significant accomplishment,” said Renee M.

The accreditation program reinforces integrity, professionalism, and legal compliance by the charitable giving sector.

CFFC’s approval notification stated, “The Community Foundations National Standards® accreditation program represents your foundation’s commitment to go above and beyond federal and state law requirements to demonstrate accountability and excellence to communities, policymakers, and the public.”
