At Pickens County Habitat for Humanity (PCHFH), we take immense pride in announcing that our organization has earned the prestigious Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. This highest level of recognition from Candid (formerly GuideStar) honors nonprofits that exemplify an unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in their operations.
Achieving the Platinum Seal was no easy feat. It required us to meet rigorous standards for openly sharing comprehensive details about our mission-driven work. From providing our strategic plans and answering in-depth questions about our objectives and impacts, to reporting key metrics that showcase our outcomes in 2023 – we left no stone unturned in our pursuit of full transparency.
You see, for us at PCHFH, transparency isn't just a box to check; it's a core value deeply ingrained in our philosophy. As an organization dedicated to empowering families through affordable homeownership, we believe maintaining open lines of communication and accountability with our supporters and the community we serve is absolutely vital.
"Earning the Candid Platinum Seal reinforces our longstanding commitment to transparency in everything we do," affirms Tamara Dourney, PCHFH's Interim Executive Director. "Our generous donors and volunteers deserve complete confidence that their invaluable contributions are maximized for impact through ethical, inclusive practices."
