The Community Foundation of Broward is excited to share that we have maintained our Platinum Seal of Transparency rating on Candid’s GuideStar.

Candid is a nonprofit that provides social sector data, tools and other resources for nonprofits nationwide. Donors and other funders can use Candid’s GuideStar to verify and research nonprofits that are aligned with their priorities.

By earning Candid’s top level of recognition, we are continuing to set an example of transparency and accountability we hope all of Broward’s nonprofits will follow.

Maintaining our Platinum rating from Candid is the latest example of how the Community Foundation prioritizes setting high standards and incorporating best practices to show we are an impactful, trustworthy champion for local philanthropy.

More than two decades ago, we became the first community foundation in Florida to earn accreditation by the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations. By going through the rigorous steps to maintain our accreditation, we continue our commitment to accountability and excellence as a national leader in philanthropy.

“We partner with philanthropists, nonprofits and professional advisors who know they can trust us to help make a lasting difference for the community they love,” said Community Foundation President/CEO Jennifer O’Flannery Anderson, Ph.D. “Achieving and maintaining our Platinum Seal of Transparency reinforces our commitment to going above and beyond to demonstrate accountability and excellence to all of our community partners.‍”
