Overall Satisfaction with GuideStar Pro
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.
Pros
- Easy to use search tool.
- Extensive database.
Cons
- 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.
- Foundation Directory Online (FDO)
If you already know the name of the foundation that you are wanting to learn more about then GuideStar is where you need to go. Foundation Directory Online is good for when you are wanting to try and find new funders by searching by focus areas or geographic locations, but it is not user-friendly when you already know exactly who you are looking for. That's where GuideStar comes in.
