GuideStar is an online directory of US charities and the world's largest source of information on nonprofit organizations. Your organization's listing on GuideStar can help verify your organization's 501(c)(3) status and makes you searchable to 9 million users a year and tens of millions more on more than 230 philanthropic websites including Facebook, the Walmart Foundation, and Network for Good.
GCFA has partnered with GuideStar and includes an option to have your organization listed on one of our regular exports to have it listed on their site. Further, all organizations listed on GuideStar through us automatically obtain the Bronze Seal of Transparency which gives funders insights into your organization, enabling educated grant-giving decisions. Once your organization is listed on GuideStar, you must Claim Your Profile to make edits and update to obtain additional Seals of Transparency.
