Overall Satisfaction with GuideStar Pro

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.
  • The 990 feature
  • Ratings
  • Address and contact info of non profits
  • 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.
I have always used Guidestar as my go-to not only when I was a non-profit executive and wanted to ensure we remained worthy of their rating but also now as a non-profit consultant where I need to understand my current and potential partners across financials, key contacts, board members, etc.

It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.
