Best in America Certification
The
Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) is certified as “Best
in America” by Independent
Charities of America and is a member of CancerCURE
of America.
Independent Charities of America and CancerCURE of America are national
associations whose purpose is to represent charities that meet the
highest standards of public accountability and program effectiveness.
The Independent Charities “BEST IN AMERICA” 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.
