At Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue, our mission to rehabilitate and rehome abused, neglected, malnourished, and behaviorally challenged donkeys is driven by compassion, dedication, and a commitment to making a tangible difference. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our organization has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid. This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellence in everything we do.
What Does the Platinum Seal of Transparency Mean?
The Platinum Seal of Transparency is the highest level of recognition offered by Candid (formerly known as GuideStar), an organization that promotes transparency and trust in the nonprofit sector. To achieve this seal, nonprofits must provide extensive information about their goals, strategies, capabilities, achievements, and progress indicators. This information is shared publicly, allowing donors, volunteers, and stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the organization's impact and operations.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Earning the Platinum Seal is a testament to our dedication to openness and accountability. Here’s a closer look at what this means for Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue:
