Platinum Seal provides donors with organizational transparency and gift impact
Continuing the accountability trend for the ninth year in a row, the VIN Foundation has earned the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid. This highest level of recognition from Candid, the world’s largest source of information on nonprofit organizations, demonstrates the VIN Foundation’s strong financial health and commitment to transparency.
Candid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides the most comprehensive data and insights about the social sector. Every year, millions of nonprofits spend trillions of dollars around the world. Candid finds out where that money comes from, where it goes, and why it matters. Candid was formed in 2019 when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged. This consistent achievement of Platinum level status reflects the VIN Foundation’s ethos of sharing organizational details; in-depth financial information; qualitative information about goals, strategies, and capabilities; and quantitative information about program results and progress.
The VIN Foundation’s nonprofit profile shows where pre-veterinary students, veterinary students, and veterinarians are receiving confidential support, student debt loan education and advice, and veterinary school information among additional support. These metrics help the VIN Foundation determine where support is most needed in the veterinary profession and focus its efforts accordingly.
