An easy way for nonprofit organizations to demonstrate their commitment to transparency while telling their real stories.
GuideStar Seals of Transparency indicate that a nonprofit has provided key information to its Nonprofit Profile. This recognition shows commitment to transparency. By providing up-to-date information, nonprofits allow potential donors and funders to make educated decisions.
About the Seals
When you earn a Seal of Transparency, you provide context for the IRS information already in your organization's GuideStar Nonprofit Profile, give potential donors and funders better insight into your work, and stand out from the other nonprofits in our database. All by claiming your organization's profile and completing the required fields. The amount of information you provide determines which of our four Seals you earn. The best part? It's completely free!
