Children need your help if we are to build stronger safety nets for all children. Whether it is a cash donation, an in-kind contribution, or a special event sponsorship, all go toward helping the victims of child abuse and neglect in our community. Your gift shows your commitment to the protection and well-being of our community's children and your gift can change a child's life.

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.
