Ohio Animal Advocates is proud to announce that we have earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, the highest level of recognition awarded through its nonprofit transparency program.
This achievement reflects our commitment to accountability, transparency, and sharing the impact of our work to improve animal welfare across Ohio.
What Is the Platinum Seal of Transparency?
Candid is a nonprofit organization that provides information and resources to help donors, funders, and communities make informed decisions about charitable giving.
Its Seals of Transparency recognize nonprofits that publicly share information about their mission, programs, leadership, finances, and organizational impact.
The Platinum Seal is Candid's highest level of recognition, demonstrating an organization's commitment to providing detailed information about its work and progress toward its goals.
