Pinky Swear has Platinum Transparency status from Candid. Here's what it means for you!

Pinky Swear Foundation has earned a Platinum Transparency yet again for 2026 from Candid.

Here's what it means and why it matters:

When you give to an organization, you deserve to know exactly where your money goes and the impact it makes.

That’s why Pinky Swear Foundation is proud to share that for the fourth year in a row, we have earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, the highest level of recognition offered.

But this isn’t just a badge. It’s a commitment to you.

What Is Candid?

Candid is the world’s largest source of nonprofit information. It was formed when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged, creating a trusted resource where donors, foundations, and grantmakers go to evaluate nonprofits.

Through Candid, organizations voluntarily share detailed information about their mission, leadership, financials, strategies, and results. The more comprehensive and measurable the information, the higher the level of transparency awarded.

Platinum is the highest level.

What the Platinum Seal means

Earning the Platinum Seal of Transparency means Pinky Swear Foundation shares:

• Clear information about our mission and the families we serve
• Detailed financial data
• Our strategic goals
• Measurable results and program impact
• Leadership and board information
• Ongoing updates about our work

It means we have chosen to go beyond the basics. We are opening our books and our outcomes so you can see the difference your support makes.

Why financial transparency matters

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, everything changes for a family. Between hospital stays, travel, lost income, and mounting bills, financial pressure builds quickly.

You want to know that your gift is handled responsibly. You want confidence that your generosity is creating real relief for families.

The Platinum Seal signals that Pinky Swear Foundation is committed to accountability, integrity, and measurable impact. It reflects careful stewardship of every dollar entrusted to us.

What this means for you

If you support Pinky Swear Foundation, here’s what this recognition means:

• You can give with confidence
• You can easily access information about our programs and finances
• You can clearly see how financial support reaches families facing childhood cancer

Our commitment going forward

Receiving the Platinum Seal is not a finish line. It’s a reminder of the responsibility we carry every day. 

Families navigating childhood cancer are balancing medical decisions, employment disruptions, and financial strain all at once. They need dependable support. And you deserve dependable information about how your support is used.

Thank you for being part of a community that values transparency, accountability, and meaningful impact.
