Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency is awarded to charities illustrating the highest level of responsible fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.

The American Skin Association (ASA) recieved Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency, previously recognized as GuideStar's Platinum Seal of Transparency. 

Candid collects nonprofit data, and this designation demonstrates that ASA is an organization focused on measuring progress and results to provide current and potential funders with accurate and detailed information. The designation is awarded to charities illustrating the highest level of responsible fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.

"It is with great pride that we accept Candid's Platinum Seal for the third consecutive year," says ASA Chairman Howard P. Milstein, in a news release.  "Our Board of Directors and staff work tirelessly to maintain a transparent and efficient organization while ensuring the highest possible portion of ASA's budget is directed to funding vital dermatological research."

ASA President, Dr. David A. Norris, adds, "Candid's Platinum designation is reflective of ASA's proven success in attaining full financial transparency. This seal is crucial for financially trustworthy and responsible non-profits. This designation enhances our ability to fund new research in skin disease and sponsor programs that educate about proper skin health and protection."
