American Pilgrims Receives Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency for 3rd Year in a Row
American Pilgrims on the Camino has once again qualified for the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency.
Candid, formed when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged, provides common online information about tax-exempt entities, allowing prospective donors to make efficient and informed giving decisions.
By contributing information about their mission, staff and leadership, programs, and goals, nonprofit entities can earn one of four transparency seals: bronze, silver, gold, or platinum. Each transparency level provides deeper insights and assessments of a nonprofit entity, with the platinum rating offering the highest level of transparency. Candid also serves as a timesaving portal for prospective donors and others interested in a nonprofit organization to find answers to questions and information about the entity.
This is the third year in a row that American Pilgrims has earned the platinum seal. For several years, it had earned a gold seal. To qualify for the gold seal, organizations must provide and update information about the organization, its mission, values, financial results, leadership/board, and programs. To qualify for the platinum seal, the organization must meet all gold-level requirements and must also provide information about its strategic plans and goals and board-approved key metrics demonstrating progress and results.
