The Fall Conference for Community Foundations is fast approaching. The program includes sessions covering a variety of interesting topics and issues. I want to make sure that you are aware of several opportunities at the conference to learn about the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations™.

Tackling the National Standards is a big project, whether you are applying for confirmation or reconfirmation. The Chicago Community Trust recently secured reconfirmation with the National Standards, and I’d like to share some of the strategies we used. They might help make your process less daunting.

The first community foundation was established almost 100 years ago, so this type of public endowment has truly passed the test of time. Following National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations helps applicants pass other important tests, making sure their policies and practices match the highest quality of service and accountability.

Tomorrow is my last day as a Council on Foundations employee—I’m leaving to take a job at another association in D.C. It is exciting to have a new job, but it is also hard to leave one that I have so enjoyed. In the last four years, I have had the privilege of working on the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations and it has been an incredible learning journey. I have met hundreds of people over these years and found that no matter where you’re located, there are some fundamental truths to our work.

I often hear people refer to the “Council on Foundations National Standards program” or being “certified with National Standards by the Council on Foundations.” There is some confusion out there in the field, but the Community Foundations National Standards Board (CNFSB) accredits community foundations in compliance with the National Standards for US Community Foundations™.
