As a member of Candid’s nationwide network of nonprofit serving agencies, Kern Community Foundation provides our Nonprofit Partners with free public access to Candid’s electronic databases and resources. This is part of our Nonprofit Strengthening Initiative and one of the benefits of registering with Kern Community Foundation.

Our Candid partners play a vital role in providing communities the fundraising and nonprofit resources they need to do good. Candid is a nonprofit that helps other nonprofits serve their communities. We offer Candid’s key tools, including GuideStar and Foundation Directory. Our nonprofits can access GuideStar to research local nonprofits to support and to find services. Nonprofits seeking funding can also access the Foundation Directory to find and connect with funders.
