WASHINGTON The National Credit Union Foundation said Monday it has won a new seal of approval as an “accredited charity” of the Better Business Bureau.

The designation, which was originally granted more than a year ago but is being cited for 2008 gift-giving by investors and donor groups “is a symbol for trust and recognizes our commitment to strong accountability and ethical practice standards,” said NCUF.

The BBB seal ranks NCUF with such national charities as the AARP Foundation and the American Medical Association, officials said.

“This seal of approval from a respected affiliate of the Better Business Bureau sends a strong message to Community Investment Fund investors and all donors that the National Credit Union Foundation is a charity they can trust,” emphasized NCUF Executive Director Steve Delfin.

Delfin said he was disclosing details of the accreditation now “since many groups make their decisions about contributions during this time of year.”
