CEGA CertificationCertification is our flagship product. It is designed to provide your non-profit with a ‘seal of approval’ that does two things: signifies your compliance with all regulations in the areas of Ethics, Governance, and Accountability; and, provides a competitive advantage by giving your organization an exclusive status in the minds of your stakeholders and your funding providers. The total cost is $299. CEGA Certification is available to non-profit organizations, not to individuals, or boards of directors, or volunteer groups. However, CEGA also sells its products separately. See the "CEGA Products" section for more information. CEGA Certification QualificationsCEGA is committed to working with non-profit organizations. Qualifications for CEGA Certification require the non-profit organization to complete an Application, provide a copy of its IRS Determination Letter (in pdf format), and forward its most current IRS Form 990 (in pdf format). It's as simple as that! There is a $50 application fee.

By renewing annually, you will also receive notices of CEGA Teleconferences, CEGA Webinars, CEGA Policy Updates, and other opportunitiies to share your thoughts and ideas with non-profit organizations.
