The Santa Fe Symphony is proud to have earned a Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid! Who are they and why is this important to know? Candid is the company formed after the merger of The Foundation Directory and Guidestar. These two publications joined forces in 2019 and today Candid is the top reference source for funding in the not-for-profit world. Candid tells organizations such as ours who’s funding projects that align with what we’re doing. They also tell foundations and major donors which organizations’ missions and activities best align with their priorities. And our award? It’s a big deal! By offering anyone interested in supporting The Santa Fe Symphony full transparency into our financial records and program track records, we’re providing an extra layer of security to anyone who might not know us firsthand. We invite all Symphony supporters to check out our profile — after all, we want you to always have the information you need to support our work with trust and confidence.
