Foundation meets high philanthropic standards
BUCYRUS -- The Bucyrus Area Community Foundation recently received notification that it has met the nation's highest philanthropic standards for operational quality, integrity and accountability. "It says that the Bucyrus Area Community Foundation has demonstrated a commitment to operational quality, integrity and accountability."
The National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations Program requires community foundations to document their policies for donor services, investments, grantmaking and administration. With more than 200 community foundations already confirmed in compliance nationwide, the program is designed to provide quality assurance to donors, as well as to their legal and financial advisers.
"This is critically important to our donors," said Janet Pry, Bucyrus Area Community Foundation executive director. The National Standards confirmation says our house is in order."
The Bucyrus Area Community Foundation offers a range of charitable funds, allowing donors to advance a cause such as education or the environment, support an individual organization, provide flexible support for community needs or recommend individual grants. In addition to affirming the organization's philanthropic services, the confirmation validates the Bucyrus Area Community Foundation's grantmaking practices for the nonprofit community.
"Some say it's easier to create wealth than to give money away wisely," said Dr. When you see the National Standards Seal, you can be assured that we're committed to meeting the highest standards for grantmaking as well."
