Leverage your role as a funder to advance transparency and equity with Candid profiles
About
Candid profiles provide a concrete and actionable way to shift to a more equitable social sector. As a funder, you play a pivotal role in the transparency of information. Your influence can help historically disadvantaged nonprofits that are often under-resourced and BIPOC-led to tell their full story.
