A Seal of Transparency appears on an organization’s Nonprofit Profile on GuideStar when the organization has publicly shared important information about its programs and operations. The Seals help your nonprofit tell its complete story, which in turn gives funders and donors a meaningful way to understand your organization’s work. 

The Seals are free—but they require you to share truthful information for public display on GuideStar. Click here for more information on each Seal and learn how to update your profile!

The Fund for Shared Insight is excited to introduce the next generation of their signature feedback initiative, Listen4Good; two new powerful, affordable capacity-building programs, Listen4Good Online+ and Listen4Good Premium. (While there is a cost, it can be paid by the nonprofit or a sponsoring funder.)

Listen4Good helps organizations gather and use client insights to drive positive changes in the ways they make decisions, deliver services, and advance equity. Both Listen4Good programs offer a rich array of resources and expert coaching so you, too, can implement and sustain high-quality, client-focused feedback loops! To compare the programs, click here.
