It’s been a year: Candid’s 2019 annual report

April 07, 2020 By Jen Bokoff and Bradford K. Smith

tablet with Candid's first annual report

It’s been a year. Technically, it’s been 431 days since we officially became Candid. And it’s really been quite a year. In this annual report, we wanted to show you what made this first year at Candid special, challenging, and everything in between.

We’re proud to share with you:

  • Learning from our special projects and programming
  • The minutia of integrating two data-heavy organizations
  • Insights into our fundraising
  • The launch day flub
  • … and more

Read the annual report

As with other aspects of our work, we adjusted our plan for this annual report in light of the current pandemic. We decided not to distribute paper copies this year. We also kept it simple so that you can easily flip through it on your mobile phone while doing inevitable work from home multi-tasking. It’s styled like a newspaper, with bite-sized content for you to pick and choose from. Yes, there’s even a crossword puzzle.

It’s been a year. And you have been a big part of it. Thank you for your feedback—both validating and constructive—as we’ve iterated and grown together.

We invite you to join us for a conversation about what’s ahead on June 3. Learn more and register today.
