BAY AREA, Calif. - March 6, 2019 - PRLog -- Robby Poblete Foundation today earned the Platinum GuideStar Nonprofit Seal of Transparency, the highest level of recognition offered by GuideStar, the world's largest source of nonprofit information.

"We can now easily share a wealth of up-to-date organizational metrics with our supporters as well as GuideStar's immense online audience, which includes donors, grant-makers, our peers and the media."

To reach the Platinum level, Robby Poblete Foundation added extensive information to its Nonprofit Profile on GuideStar: basic contact and organizational information; in-depth financial information; qualitative information about goals, strategies, and capabilities; and quantitative information about results and progress toward its mission. By taking the time to provide this information, Robby Poblete Foundation has demonstrated its commitment to transparency and to giving donors and funders meaningful data to evaluate the Robby Poblete Foundation.

The foundation has established quantitative and qualitative metrics for each of its programs: Gun Buyback (http://robbypobletefoundation.org/rpf-gun-buyback-program/), Art of Peace (http://robbypobletefoundation.org/art-of-peace/), and Work in Progress vocational program (http://robbypobletefoundation.org/work-in-progress/).
