GuideStar would like to give you the forum to talk about great — and perhaps not yet great — nonprofits on its site. If you have had direct experience with a nonprofit, GuideStar would like to encourage you to write a review, which will be posted on the organization's report.

To write a review, simply go to any organization's report. Before writing a review, you might find the following tips helpful:

• The most helpful reviews are those that speaks from your personal experience. How did you come to know this nonprofit? Did you get the services or programs you were expecting? What results have you seen from this nonprofit?
  
  
• Be as detailed as possible in your review and give concrete examples
  
  
• Ask yourself, “What does the reader need to know about this nonprofit?”
  
  
• Decide on the overall point you want to get across to the reader
  
  
• Use a friendly, relaxed writing style
  
  
• Do not include anything in your review that:
  
  
  • is false or intentionally misleading;
    
    
  • is patently offensive to users of the GuideStar site, such as content or messages that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual;
    
    
  • harasses or advocates harassment of another person;
    
    
  • involves the transmission of unsolicited mass mailing or “spamming”;
    
    
  • promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive;
    
    
  • is threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous;
    
    
  • is pornographic or sexually explicit in nature; and
    
    
  • seeks or recommends providers of material that exploits people under the age of 18 in a sexual or violent manner
    
    
• At the end of your review, sum up your experiences and thoughts on the nonprofit
  
  
• Be sure to read and edit your review before you post it
