Gulf Coast Community Foundation has renewed its accreditation with National Standards for US Community Foundations. Administered by the Community Foundations National Standards Board, the accreditation is considered the nation’s highest standard for philanthropic excellence. The National Standards for US Community Foundations establish legal, ethical and effective practices for community foundations. The National Standards program requires foundations to document policies for donor services, investments, grantmaking and administration. It is designed to provide quality assurance to community foundation donors, as well as to their legal and financial advisors. Gulf Coast Community Foundation originally earned the designation in 2006, and was among the first community foundations in the country to be confirmed in compliance with National Standards. It has remained accredited since then.
