GuideStar
If  you've ever considered donating to a charity, but found yourself uncertain of how it manages its finances or programs, you may be interested in what GuideStar has to show you. Dedicated to creating a "more transparent and accountable nonprofit community," GuideStar collects and shares data on more than 1.5 million philanthropic organizations. After the free registration process, you can access a nonprofit's basic profile and peruse facsimiles of the latest 990 forms that it has filed with the IRS. (For a fee, GuideStar also offers select and premium accounts that feature more in-depth analysis and background.) Whether you want to learn more about your local NPR station, examine the records of the Ronald McDonald House down the street, or investigate a large private foundation, GuideStar will illuminate the way.
