ALAS Awarded the Candid Gold Seal of Transparency
We’re proud to share that ALAS has earned the Candid Gold Seal of Transparency, a national recognition given to nonprofits that openly share key information about their mission, leadership, impact, and finances. This seal reflects our ongoing commitment to serving our community with integrity and clarity!
What the Gold Seal Means
The Gold Seal shows that ALAS provides easy public access to important organizational information. This level of transparency helps patients, partners, donors, grant funders, and volunteers understand exactly how we operate and how their support fuels our mission.
Why It Matters for ALAS
As a nonprofit providing free, high-quality healthcare across ten clinics under Centro Médico, trust is at the heart of everything we do. Earning the Gold Seal reinforces that:
We are accountable to the communities we serve
We manage resources responsibly
We value open communication and public trust
We are committed to long-term sustainability and growth
This recognition also strengthens our position as we seek grants and partnerships that help us fund essential services.
Continuing Our Mission
For our patients, this seal means they can feel confident in the care they receive.
For our volunteers and students, it reflects the strength of the organization they help build.
For supporters and partners, it signals reliability, transparency, and a clear vision for the future.
Earning the Candid Gold Seal is a milestone worth celebrating—but it’s also a reminder that transparency is ongoing work. ALAS will continue to share our progress as we expand services, strengthen our clinics, and meet the healthcare needs of the CSRA with compassion and dedication.
Stay Connected
We invite our community to learn more about our work, support our mission, and help us continue breaking down barriers to healthcare access. Thank you to everyone who contributes to ALAS—this achievement is yours too!
