SEAL OF TRANSPARENCY
A Community of Friends (ACOF) is thrilled to be recognized with the Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the world’s largest database of nonprofit organizations. Less than five percent of nonprofits registered with GuideStar are recognized with a Gold Seal. A Gold Seal status is the leading symbol of non-profit transparency and accountability.
ACOF is dedicated to providing current and potential donors with accurate and in-depth knowledge about the many ways we are responsibly advancing our mission and vision with all donations we receive. Our mission is to end homelessness through the provision of quality permanent supportive housing for people with mental illness.
We are committed to supporting our tenants and managing our buildings from the moment a project is conceived until it is fully occupied, providing affordable housing with onsite supportive services. Utilizing the Housing First model, we ensure that tenants have immediate access to housing without preconditions, coupled with the comprehensive support necessary to remain stable in housing. Our work is built on three pillars: Housing Production, Supportive Services, and Property Management.
GuideStar provides a Seal rating on all 1.8 million IRS-registered nonprofit organizations. The goal is to provide as much information as they can so that a donor can make his or her own determination of where to donate money.
