We work to actively interrupt traditional nonprofit and corporate structures that separate decision-making from lived experience. Instead of concentrating authority at the top, we root our financial and organizational practices in collective decision-making that honors the knowledge of those doing the daily work and those whose identities, needs, and brilliance are at the center of our mission.

​

This means our staff and community voices guide how resources are created, allocated, and sustained, ensuring accountability flows directly to the people most impacted – rather than to external gatekeepers and abstract metrics. By doing so, we resist extractive models and build systems where transparency, interdependence, and shared power are woven into every decision.

CANDOR partners with Sandra Ray CPA, whose team manages our financial reporting and compliance, alongside our Treasurer and Founder. These reports serve as our internal checks and balances and are reviewed by our leadership team. They also ensure our adherence with state and federal requirements.​
