The
Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members
of
Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities
of America
that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify,
document,
and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards
of
public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.
These
standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion
in the
Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive
in the
world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States
today, it
is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed
these
standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this
Seal.
