The Caring Place awarded for transparency
Nonprofit lauded for transparency in goals, progress and achievements
The Caring Place received a Platinum Seal of Transparency award for 2022 by Candid, a nonprofit organization that provides data and insights about the social sector.
The award indicates The Caring Place shares information with the public about goals, strategies, capabilities, achievements and progress indicators that highlight its community efforts.
According to Candid, “more than 75,000 organizations have earned Seals, making the Guide-Star Seal the most widely adopted symbol of transparency in the U.S. social sector.”
The Caring Place Executive Director Ginna O’Connor thanked the community for its support of the Georgetown organization’s mission.
“You are the reason we are able to provide for the basic needs of our neighbors in crisis,” she said. “The last few years have been challenging in unexpected ways, and the community’s continued generosity ensures we can bring people through a crisis.”
As the holidays approach, Ms. O’Connor said resources are available during an often budget- stretched time of year.
The Caring Place is a community- based, community-supported and community-serving organization. Its service area includes Georgetown, Andice, Bartlett, Florence, Granger, Jarrell, Jonah, Schwertner, Walburg, Weir and the portion of Hutto that lies within the boundaries of Georgetown ISD.
