Editor's Notes
Our question is how we operate with vision, with understanding, with clarity and agility. And not for its own sake.
We also have more than 10 million annual visitors to www.guidestar.org, and our research shows that they are going to actual nonprofit reports more than anywhere else on our site. And we have 20 donation processing sites as well – the list goes on.
We then push that out to all of our partners, including foundations and donor advisors like Schwab Charitable Trust and Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund as well as such other sites as AMAZON!!!
and really most important, that the work we do is not about us. We are a means to an end. We exist only to serve the people, communities, and ecosystems that enable us to live.
We have very real problems we’re trying to address.
