    It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.

    Dow Jones
    It is particularly well-suited for financial institutions and other organizations in heavily regulated industries, such as banks and money service businesses that need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations, as well as organizations with a high volume of transactions. The product offers features such as watchlist screening, real-time monitoring, intelligence and research, automated workflows, reporting and visualization and easy integration with other systems. However, it may not be the best fit for smaller organizations with a lower risk profile or limited budget, or organizations with relatively simple compliance requirements

    Any support I've ever had to get from them was quick and professional. Their online guides/help docs are also easy to read.

    I have always used Guidestar as my go-to not only when I was a non-profit executive and wanted to ensure we remained worthy of their rating but also now as a non-profit consultant where I need to understand my current and potential partners across financials, key contacts, board members, etc.
