This year, Bloom will celebrate 35 years of positively impacting the lives of foster children. This milestone would not have been possible without the commitment and support of our donors. Looking ahead, we have several important initiatives that will help us reach more foster children than ever before. But we cannot realize this goal without your continued support.
That’s why we want to assure our donors that they are making a meaningful contribution to a nationally accredited and fiscally responsible organization. We strive to ensure that your meaningful contributions are used in the most effective and efficient way possible. Donors can support Bloom’s work with trust and confidence, as we have received several recognitions that highlight our exceptional work.
Charity Navigator four-star rating
Bloom received the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator, which illustrates our commitment to accountability and highlights how we pursue our mission in a fiscally responsible way. This designation means that we exceed industry standards and outperform most charities. Only one-quarter of evaluated charities receive this distinction.
Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency
Bloom has been honored with the prestigious Platinum Seal of Transparency Rating from Candid, the world’s largest source of information on nonprofit organizations. This rating places Bloom in the top 0.1% of charities nationally in terms of transparency, a distinction that only a select few organizations can claim. This accomplishment underscores our unwavering commitment to sharing open and honest information about our goals and impact with the public.
Council on Accreditation
Bloom is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), a prestigious organization that sets standards for quality in behavioral healthcare. This designation is not easily obtained, requiring an 18-month, rigorous process. We are proud to have received this accreditation in early 2021 and are currently in the process of renewing it for 2025.
Bloom is honored to have received these recognitions, which demonstrate our commitment to excellence. We are eager to take these extra steps to ensure that your funds are put to the best use possible. Your support has allowed Bloom to serve more than 6,800 children and provide 23,000 days of care.
