Rebuild Upstate Earns Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency for Ninth Consecutive Year

Greenville, SC — Rebuild Upstate is proud to announce it has earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar), marking nine consecutive years at the organization’s highest level of recognition for nonprofit accountability.

The Platinum Seal is awarded to organizations that demonstrate a deep commitment to transparency by sharing clear, comprehensive information about their mission, strategies, capabilities, and measurable impact. Rebuild Upstate’s continued recognition reflects its dedication to stewarding donor resources responsibly while delivering critical home repairs for low-income neighbors across the Upstate.

Through its programs, Rebuild Upstate works to make homes safer, healthier, and more livable, serving low-income older adults, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and families. Achieving Platinum status year after year underscores the organization’s focus on measurable outcomes and trust-based relationships with donors, partners, and the community it serves.

“Our neighbors trust us with their homes, and our donors trust us with their investments,” said Jake Beaty, CEO of Rebuild Upstate. “Earning Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency for the ninth consecutive year reflects our commitment to honoring both. Earning this seal is one of the ways we show impact. Not everyone can show up to volunteer and see the impact for themselves. Independent parties like Candid serve an important role in nonprofit transparency.”

Candid’s Platinum Seal allows donors and stakeholders to easily access key information about Rebuild Upstate’s programs, helping them make informed decisions and understand the impact of their support.
