Charting Impact

What is your organization aiming to accomplish?

What are your strategies for making this happen?

What are your organization's capabilities for doing this?

How will your organization know if you are making progress?

What have and haven't you accomplished so far?

GuideStar's Gold Seal of Transparency is earned by completing five questions around an organization's strategies, progress, and results, known as Charting Impact. Charting Impact encourages strategic thinking about how an organization intends to achieve its goals. The end result is a report that lets nonprofits share concise, detailed information about plans and progress with key stakeholders, including the public. This data is provided directly by nonprofits to GuideStar via their Nonprofit Profile.
This impact information is current as of January 2020, when it was provided to us by GuideStar. At this time, Impact information published on this organization's page has no effect on its rating per our methodology.
