With so many competing choices, many workplace donors look for aids to help make their giving decisions. One of those aids, increasingly popular with donors, is a third party endorsement or "seal of approval".

That is why throughout this fall's giving season CFC and other workplace givers will be encouraged to "look for the seal" when deciding where to designate their contributions. Of the 50,000 + charities that participate in the CFC, only about 1500 - the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America - will have to opportunity to display this "Best In America" seal of approval. Your organization is one of those chosen few.
