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.

Injured soldiers to receive Girl Scout cookies as part of
Leesburg Brownie troop’s fundraising campaign
Members of the military who have become sick, injured or
wounded from service in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait will
soon receive some Girl Scout cookies thanks to a Leesburg
Brownie Troop and the local community.
The Brownie troop is partnering with Landstuhl Hospital
Care Project to send boxes of popular Girl Scout cookies
overseas. Through out the recent Girl Scout Cookie
selling drive, the Brownies offered customers the option
to donate boxes of cookies to the hospitalized overseas.
Going Postal is underwriting the shipping to send the 350
donated cookie boxes to LHCP headquarters in Virginia
where they will then be distributed overseas to troops at
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and field
hospitals in combat areas such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
