Richmond, VA — January 14, 2026
Journey House Foundation is proud to announce that we have earned the 2026 Candid Platinum Transparency, the highest level of recognition offered by Candid, the nation’s leading source for nonprofit information. This achievement demonstrates our deep commitment to accountability, clarity, and impact reporting as we work to help individuals and families thrive in long-term recovery.
The Platinum Seal recognizes nonprofits that openly share detailed organizational data, strategic goals, financials, program metrics, and measurable results. By earning this distinction, Journey House Foundation affirms its dedication to building trust with donors, partners, and the community we serve.
“As the nonprofit arm of Journey House Recovery Center, our mission is to ensure that recovery support is accessible, person-centered, and rooted in hope,” said Dr. Eric Etka, Director of Strategy and Development. “Transparency is essential to that mission. This recognition reflects our commitment to stewarding every gift with integrity and sharing the impact our supporters make possible.”

And it means we remain steadfast in our mission to help people heal, grow, and thrive without substance use… with transparency, integrity, and hope leading the way.”
