The Scottsdale North Rotary Foundation announced it has received Candid's coveted Platinum Seal of Transparency, previously recognized as GuideStar's Platinum Seal of Transparency. Candid is the world's largest source of nonprofit data and this designation demonstrates that the Scottsdale North Rotary Foundation (SNRF) is an organization focused on measuring progress and results in order to provide current and potential funders accurate and detailed information. The designation is only awarded to charities illustrating the highest level of responsible fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. "It is with great pride that we accept Candid's Platinum Seal " said Scottsdale North Rotary Foundation Chairman Ron Junck. "Our Board of Directors and our members work hard to maintain a transparent and efficient organization while ensuring the highest possible portion of the money we raise is directed to funding vital charitable organizations in North Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek as well as throughout Arizona and around the world." Established 14 years ago to serve the growing community, SNRF has provided more than a quarter million dollars in grants to support worthy causes with six areas of focus: Community Health, Family and Community Support, Youth Education and Development, Cancer Research and Treatment, Food Bank Support, and Global Water, Health and Disaster Recovery. Rotary Club of Scottsdale North President, Tom Lewellen, added, "Candid's Platinum designation is reflective of our success in attaining full financial transparency. This seal is crucial for financially trustworthy and responsible non-profits. This designation enhances our ability to fund new and existing programs and to continue Rotary International’s mission to eradicate polio and promote lasting peace." In today's ever-changing philanthropic environment, donors seek transparency and accountability from the organizations they choose to support. The Candid Seal of Transparency reconfirms that SNRF and the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North are worthy of its donors' confidence and generosity.
