Friends - Utah earns UNA's Credential Award

Friends of the Children - Utah became the fourth nonprofit to earn Utah Nonprofit Association's highest honor: the UNA Credential Award. The Credential, developed in response to the nonprofit need for the knowledge, resources, and coaching needed to create sustainability, includes nine capacity-creating courses. Upon completion of a comprehensive set of predetermined criteria for each course, an organization earns a UNA Badge. Completing all nine Badges earns an organization the Credential Award.

Since the 2016 launch of the Credential, over 350 nonprofits have participated in one or more of the courses and 140 of those organizations have completed the requirements to earn 221 UNA Badges.
