At PADV we strive to be a transparent organization so that our supporters can trust us with their time, talent and financial resources. We are proud to announce that we now have GuideStar’s Platinum Seal of Transparency and we were rated by Charity Navigator as a 4-Star Charity.

In 2020, over 78,000 organizations became Seal holders with only 15% receiving GuideStar’s Platinum Seal of Transparency. PADV earned this recognition by voluntarily sharing our measures of progress and the results we use to pursue our mission.
