GuideStar About UsGuideStar.orgGSOThe best possible decisions are made when donors, funders, researchers, educators, professional service providers, governing agencies, and the media use the quality information that we provide. Those decisions affect our world today and will continue to affect it for generations to come.Gather and publicize information about nonprofit organizations.DataEnable users to find GuideStar data.1Our reach is far and wide. Our database is broad and deep.
We encourage nonprofits to share information about their organizations openly and completely. Any nonprofit in our database can update its report with information about its mission, programs, leaders, goals, accomplishments, and needs—for free. We combine the information that nonprofits supply with data from several other sources.
Subscriptions and licensing fees for our services provide important financial support for our work—in 2006, they made up 64 percent of our total revenue. The remaining 36 percent came from generous foundations and donors—we're a public charity, too. We have an ambitious plan for long-term sustainability, but we are also committed to providing nonprofit information to a broad audience at no cost to those users. It's part of our public service, one that we pledge to continue.GuideStar Web SiteProvide data on the GuideStar Web site.1.1CharitiesDonorsClient SitesEnable clients to provide data on their Web sites.1.2GuideStar ClientsOther ApplicationsEnable reuse of data in computer applications used by funding entities and private companies who work with nonprofits.1.3Funding EntitiesCompanies2010-01-30http://www2.guidestar.org/rxg/about-us/index.aspxOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
