Transparency
Accountability is central to how we work. We believe that openness about our finances, governance, and decision-making helps us stay focused on what matters most: generating significant charitable impact.
Our commitment to transparency
At Rethink Priorities, we hold ourselves accountable to our donors, partners, and the communities we serve. Transparency isn’t just a requirement — it’s a core organizational value that guides how we operate.
What this means in practice:
- We publish detailed financial records annually, including independently audited financials and IRS Form 990
- We openly share information about our governance structure and leadership
- We make our research publicly available and document our methodologies
- We regularly communicate our strategic priorities and organizational updates
Recognition
We proudly hold the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid — the highest level of recognition awarded to nonprofits for publicly sharing comprehensive organizational data. This designation reflects our commitment to openness with donors, partners, and the public.
