About GuideStar
GuideStar specializes in reporting on US nonprofits. In fact, they were one of the very first sources of information on nonprofits. Not only do they provide in-depth information, but also verify legitimacy. In other words, they verify the organization gives donated funds to the donors they are intended for. This is especially important in times of disaster when people are most likely to donate. Straightaway they know exactly who to trust and give money to.
Recently donors have revealed their interest in wanting to know more about nonprofits. Specifically before offering up donations. In fact, many entities including donors but also funders and financial advisors want to know this type of information. Knowing basic financial information as well as the impact and effectiveness of the charity helps to educate. After all, making informed decisions gives the proper charities aid in helping people who need it.
In essence, GuideStar gives essential insights into charities. I found this recent e-mail message very helpful so I thought I would share it here. For the most part, knowing where donations go can increase the likelihood of receiving donations.
