Rise Augusta Earns 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid

Rise Augusta is proud to announce that we have earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid—the highest level of recognition awarded to nonprofit organizations for accountability and openness.

This distinction reflects our commitment to sharing clear, comprehensive information about our mission, programs, leadership, and financials. More importantly, it highlights our dedication to measuring and communicating the real impact of our work within the Augusta community.

The Platinum Seal is awarded to organizations that go beyond basic reporting by providing detailed insights into their goals, strategies, and outcomes. By achieving this level, Rise Augusta joins a group of nonprofits that prioritize transparency as a core part of their operations and community engagement.

For our supporters, partners, and donors, this recognition offers an added level of confidence in how resources are stewarded and how impact is tracked. It reinforces our belief that meaningful change starts with trust—and that trust is built through openness and accountability.

As we continue to grow and expand our reach, we remain committed to operating with integrity, sharing our progress, and demonstrating the outcomes of the work we do every day.

We’re grateful to our community for making this achievement possible and invite you to learn more about our impact and ongoing initiatives.
