Candid Gold Transparency 2026 Seal badge

We’re excited to share that we’ve been awarded the 2026 Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid.

But more importantly, this recognition reflects the community that makes our work possible. That’s you.

This Gold Seal is one way of showing that we’re committed to being open about all of it.

It means you can easily see:

  • What we’re building and why

  • Who we’re reaching

  • How support is used

  • What’s actually changing because of this work

  • More supporters can confidently say “yes” to getting involved

  • We can grow in ways that stay aligned with our values

Transparency isn’t just about funders—it’s about making sure our community feels informed, included, and connected to what we’re building.

  • Talk about what you’ve experienced here

That kind of word-of-mouth and visibility goes a long way.
