The Council on Foundations and Community Foundations National Standards Board Announce Next Steps for National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations

As with any standards program, review and revisions need to be made so they remain relevant. Since the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations were initially released in 2000, the philanthropic world has changed, as have the rules that apply to community foundations. For this reason, the National Standards and the confirmation process were updated in 2008 to ensure that they continue to be current and robust.
