The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire recently earned a Candid (formerly Guidestar) Platinum Seal of Transparency. This means we, as a non-profit, have been vetted by Candid, an independent non-profit charity “watchdog”, and have been found to be 100% compliant with all IRS requirements. Funders use Candid to research non-profits they are considering supporting.
