The GuideStar Exchange is an initiative designed to connect nonprofits with current and potential supporters. With millions of people coming to GuideStar to learn more about nonprofit organizations, the GuideStar Exchange allows nonprofits to share a wealth of up-to-date information with GuideStar's vast on-line audience of grantmakers and individual donors.

Exchange members are nonprofits that have updated their nonprofit reports to the fullest—sharing information, documentation, photos, and video with GuideStar's visitors.

Benefits of Joining the Exchange

Once you have provided the information required for participating in the GuideStar Exchange and GuideStar has approved your organization's updated report, your organization will receive GuideStar Premium free for one year (a $1,000 value). You will continue to receive this benefit at no charge as long as your Exchange information is updated annually. In addition, the GuideStar Exchange seal (seen to the right) is displayed on all Exchange members' report pages.
