STANDARDS FOR U.S. COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS
The Nationals Standards Seal by our name indicates official confirmation from the Council on Foundations that we have met the most rigorous standards in philanthropy. It affirms our commitment to financial security, transparency and accountability. It says our grantmaking includes an open competitive process designed to address the changing needs in our community. The National Standards Seal also confirms our history of honoring donors' wishes to support the arts, cultivate gardens, save endangered species, cure illness, expand literacy, protect and serve our children and support countless other important causes.
The National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations Program was established in cooperation with the Council on Foundations. National Standards guide community foundations in establishing legal, ethical and effective operational practices that serve as blueprints for internal development and benchmarks for external assessment. The National Standards require El Dorado Community Foundation to document its policies for donor services, investment management, grantmaking and administration. To receive confirmation of National Standards compliance, El Dorado Community Foundation submitted its organizational and financial policies and procedures to a rigorous peer review.
