6 November 2008www.guidestar.ie How does Guidestar support philanthropy? The sector is stronger and more coherent Everyone has greater access to information about funding, activities, performance Policy-makers and researchers can interpret trends based on reliable, extensive data Philanthropists and donors can avail of research, due diligence, channel of communication with sector, other information services The public has a better understanding of the purposes and impacts of philanthropy
