In my line of work I am often tasked with looking into the viability for partnership with various non-profit institutions to see if they would be a good fit for our services. This service allows me to better understand revenues, budget item spending and executive salaries using the 990 functionality.

Excellent data.
Easy to use site to find what I need.
Provides relevant data that is recent and not many years old.

Their website could use an overhaul to make it more visually appealing.
Website could offer learning on how to find/use data.
When I was a nonprofit exec and in charge of supplying the data, I desired more insight into how to best set up our site and information. Training or guidance would have been great.

Guidestar allows me to better understand potential new partners before I enter an exploratory meeting and/or when I am building out a proposal for sale.
It saves me countless hours of searching on the internet.

GuideStar Pro is being used at my organization to find concise data from 990s of funders we are prospecting. It is most useful when used in conjunction with FDO, but GuideStar Pro alone can also be helpful albeit take more time to use. It is being used in Development and addresses issues finding information about funder giving preferences (when they lack a website) or finding out if an organization is still in existence. We also use the GuideStar seal on our website to show our commitment to transparency.

Identifying information from funder 990s
Gives credence to transparency claims

None - anything missing from GuideStar Pro can be found in FDO, also from Candid

Quicker 990 Mining
Seals of Transparency lead to more positive grant submissions

GuideStar Pro is an essential tool for researching nonprofit organizations and foundations. We primarily use GuideStar for easy access to organizations' Form 990 that contains valuable information and can be used when researching new granting foundations.

Easy to use search tool.
Extensive database.

Most 990s are typically a few years behind.
Organization profiles are only as complete as the organization makes them.

More informed grant proposals.
Able to easily and efficiently complete grant research.
