Strengthening Global Civic Society through Information

GuideStar International

GuideStar International (GSI) seeks to illuminate the work of every civil society organization (CSO) in the world. A GuideStar system provides a highly searchable and comprehensive library of reports on a country’s CSOs, enabling them to communicate their work effectively and easily to national and international audiences.

GSI is a charity registered in the UK. We help national civil society leaders establish independent GuideStars for their countries that are modeled on systems already operating in the US and UK. Donors, practitioners, trustees, media, researchers, service providers, policy makers and those working for not for profit organisations and charities rely on GuideStars to inform decisions in their work.

GSI is building a highly searchable, online network of these national GuideStars to support cross border philanthropy and services. New GuideStars are under development in Hungary, Germany, India, The Netherlands, Ireland, South Africa and South Korea.
