You have probably heard by now that Community Foundation of Broward will require a GOLD SEAL of TRANSPARENCY as part of our grant application eligibility starting this summer.  But what does that mean and why would we do that?  
 

Join us to learn about this change that will save your organization and our foundation time and energy! You'll learn who Candid is and how our resources can help your nonprofit thrive. This orientation will introduce you to Candid's flagship products and other resources to help you effectively fundraise, learn from peers, and tell your organization’s story. You'll discover how updating the Nonprofit Profile and earning your Seal will grow an organization’s online identity and share their full story with Candid’s 10 million annual users as well as millions more through 200+ partner sites, including AmazonSmile, Facebook, and Network for Good.

Upon completion of this course you should be able to:  

• Identify Candid’s resources for nonprofit professionals and where to find them. 
• Determine which Candid resources are most relevant to your organization’s needs. 
• Plan to tell your story online, using your nonprofit's Candid profile.
• Explain how Foundation Directory helps you find foundation donors and how to access the tool. 
• Do what is needed to earn your Gold Seal of Transparency.
