ANCA recently earned the Utah Nonprofits Association (UNA) credential badge in fundraising and development, demonstrating that we are dedicated to best practices in our fundraising.
To earn this badge, ANCA Director of Marketing & Communications Asa Duffee attended a two-day intensive training. Following the training, we submitted content for a communications expert to review, including our development policies and samples of ANCA fundraising. Asa also met one-on-one with the credential facilitator to discuss ANCA's unique fundraising position as a national capacity-building organization.
UNA offers nine credentials for nonprofits to strengthen operations and demonstrate commitment to organizational excellence. ANCA has previously earned the UNA credential badges in advocacy and civic engagement, marketing and communications, and human resources.
“Congratulations to ANCA on earning the UNA Credential Badge in Fundraising and Development. To achieve this milestone, ANCA meticulously reviewed, revised, and created standards and practices to guide their development work. They reviewed and revised everything from their policies on accepting gifts, to fundraising ethics, to how they acknowledged their donors. By establishing sound fundraising practices and crafting a strong development strategy, ANCA has set itself up for long-term success. This work, and it is indeed work, shows an intentional commitment to excellence.”
