Platinum Seal provides donors with organizational
transparency and gift impact
DAVIS,
Calif., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For
the eighth year in a row, the VIN Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit, 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 accountability.
The VIN Foundation believes a healthy animal community depends
on a healthy veterinary community and programs to support
veterinary colleagues throughout their careers. "We are excited to
earn this seal as a testament to the VIN Foundation's commitment to
transparency," said Executive Director Jordan benShea, "by
attaining the Platinum level for the eighth consecutive year, the
VIN Foundation is effectively communicating honest organizational
information with supporters as well as with Candid's audience,
which includes donors, grant-makers, veterinary peers, animal
advocates, and the media."
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.
