The "Best In America" seal of approval by Independent Charities of America (ICA).

The purpose of the seal of approval (a third party endorsement) is to help potential contributors easily identify ICA's member organizations as the top charities in the country who meet the high standards of ICA. 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 the 1500 members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America will have the opportunity to display ICA's "Best In America" seal of approval. Cuedspeech is one of those chosen few.

The "Best In America" seal was inspired by the recent comparative review of "watchdog" groups by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations. The Council included the CFC standards in its review, and it was obvious that those standards match or often exceed the standards of other groups. ICA and LICA are acknowledged as the most rigorous in the application of those standards to member eligibility review, in conjunction with their own additional tests. Cuedspeech has documented that it meets those standards and tests and it's recognition is well deserved.
