ALL Programs are verified prior to going public on the PATRIOTlink platform.
What does it mean when a Program Card has the PATRIOTlink Verified (shown above) badge?
The verified badge means that one of our content specialists, a real live person, has ensured the information and validity of the program and organization.
An organization/program must meet the following criteria to remain verified:
- Provides a direct and low, to no-cost service (i.e. legal, mental health, retreats)
- Be fiscally responsible and financially transparent (i.e. 990)
- Be responsive when contacted by phone and/or email
What if a Program Card doesn't have the verified badge?
If a card does not have a verified badge, that means the program is currently in the process of being renewed or reverified by our content specialists. Programs are renewed on a six (6) month or yearly (12 month) basis, or when they are reported by a user.
During the reverification process the programs information may not be out of date. If concerned about the validity of an program without the badge, you can reach out to PATRIOTlink Support via email.
