Illuminating the work of the world's civil society organisations

GuideStar International

GuideStar International (GSI), a UK-registered charity, is building a global network of websites with detailed reports on countries’ civil society organisations (CSOs) to make them more visible to those who wish to support their work.

Through GuideStar, CSOs can report on their aims, activities, accomplishments, structure and finances. By making the work of CSOs transparent, over time, these national GuideStar systems:

  • make CSOs more visible, accountable and effective;
  • enable more confident and effective philanthropy; and
  • promote vibrant and well governed civil societies.
