How Candid Helps Nonprofits

How Candid helps nonprofits: Join us to learn how Candid resources can help your nonprofit thrive. With their trusted data and training, Candid has free resources on important issues in the social sector. This orientation will introduce you to Candid's flagship products and other resources to help you effectively fundraise, learn from peers, and tell your organization’s story. We’ll dive into the new Candid search, which combines decades of trusted data from both Foundation Directory and GuideStar.
  • Identify Candid’s resources for nonprofit professionals and where to find them.
  • Determine which Candid resources are most relevant to your organization’s needs.
  • Plan to tell your story online, using your nonprofit's Candid profile.
  • Explain how the new Candid search helps you find foundation donors and how to access the tool. 
 This session will be followed by one in August on Navigating Grants with Candid.
