Santa Barbara, CA – The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara earned top ratings from two leading nonprofit evaluators: a perfect 100% score and a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, as well as the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar). These awards highlight the Cancer Foundation’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

Candid, a leading nonprofit information service provider, awards seals of transparency to nonprofit organizations based on the depth of the information they provide. The Platinum Seal of Transparency, Candid’s highest level of recognition, is awarded to nonprofit organizations that publicly share detailed information about their finances, governance, strategic priorities, and measurable community impact, including the number of donors, volunteers, and grants awarded. The Cancer Foundation has now been awarded this seal for seven consecutive years.

Charity Navigator, a trusted independent evaluator of nonprofits, analyzes a nonprofit’s financial health, accountability, and transparency to determine its ratings. The Cancer Foundation’s perfect 100% score reflects its exceptional performance in accountability, finance, leadership, and adaptability. According to Charity Navigator’s review of the Cancer Foundation, its website states, “If this organization aligns with your passions and values, you can give with confidence.”

“Transparency and accountability are essential for building trust with our donors,” shared Lori Willis, Executive Director of the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara. “By openly sharing our financials, impact reports, and resource allocation strategies, we empower our supporters to make informed decisions about their philanthropy, knowing that their contributions are making a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer patients.”
