Clinic Earns Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency

 



We’re proud to share that the Order of Malta Clinic of Northern California has been awarded the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar) - the highest level of recognition offered by the nation’s most trusted source for nonprofit information.

What the Candid Seal Means

The Candid Platinum Seal demonstrates our commitment to openness and accountability. It signals to our donors, partners, and the public that we’ve shared not just financials, but also key goals, strategies, metrics, and impact data. In short, it means we’re doing the work and sharing the proof.

Why Transparency Matters

As a nonprofit healthcare clinic providing free, medical care to thousands of uninsured patients each year, transparency is fundamental to our mission. Our community puts its trust in us - not just to provide care, but to do so with integrity, accountability, and purpose. When you donate to the Clinic, you deserve to know exactly how your support is being used and what impact it’s having.

Earning Trust, Every Day

We’re proud of this recognition, but we also see it as a reflection of what we do every day:

  • Tracking outcomes to ensure we’re delivering high-quality care

  • Maintaining strong fiscal stewardship to stretch every dollar

  • Sharing stories and data that highlight our patients’ progress and our Clinic’s growth

Whether we’re expanding our services, welcoming new patients, or launching new programs, we remain committed to being a trustworthy steward of every donation we receive.

We invite you to learn more about our work and join us in building a healthier, more equitable future - one patient visit at a time.
