Candid is a nonprofit organization that provides the most comprehensive data and insights about the social sector. Candid provides donors, funders, and the public with insight into the mission, financials, and impact of nonprofits across the country. The Platinum Seal is the highest level of recognition, awarded to organizations that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to openness and accountability.
“This achievement is more than a badge—it's a signal to the world that we are transparent, trusted, and dedicated to the mission of feeding the future of Central New York,” stated Dion.
Candid was formed in 2019 when GuideStar and Foundation Center merged. Every year, millions of nonprofits spend trillions of dollars around the world. Candid finds out where that money comes from, where it goes, and why it matters. Through research, collaboration, and training, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to change it.
Ms. Dion established Erin’s Angels in 2017, transforming the tragic loss of 11-year-old Erin Maxwell into a powerful mission to create lasting change. Under her leadership, the organization has grown significantly, supported by a dedicated volunteer team committed to addressing food insecurity and protecting children in New York State.
The mission of Erin’s Angels is to mobilize the community, individuals and resources to provide food for kids in need.
