"description": "Through data, research, and our collective experience, Candid provides our users with the knowledge they need to make strategic decisions and develop practical solutions to achieve their missions. \n\nOur GuideStar searchable database currently includes data on 1.9 million 501c3 entities, making it easier to understand who they are and what they do. We support ongoing learning and research by gathering, indexing, and sharing the sector's collective knowledge on IssueLab while also producing our own research that shares insights on issues affecting the social sector. We provide data and knowledge to the philanthropic field by creating new issue-based web portals known as 'Foundation Landscapes' on the topics that matter most to the sector. Through Glasspockets we provide the data, resources, examples, and action steps foundations need to understand the value of transparency, be more open in their own communications, and help shed more light on how private organizations are serving the public good. Candid works closely with organizations around the globe to assist them in collecting and organizing their region's philanthropy data by sharing what we have learned over the past 60 years about data acquisition and data architecture. \n\nCandid's CF Insights program is the leader in data collection and research for the community foundation field in the U.S. with a reputation for benchmarking and analysis of trends. Through CF Insights, we continue to deliver a high level of service to our members and worked with partners to release groundbreaking research on the need for increased collaboration amongst leaders of community foundations.\n\nWe also have a number of blogs across our platforms (including the GuideStar blog, GrantSpace blog, GrantCraft blog, GlassPockets blog, Philanthropy News Digest Blog, and more!) that shine a light on relevant topics and trends affecting the sector.",

The below reflects GuideStar's historical programs as of January 31, 2019.\n\nAcross the globe, nonprofits play an important role within the evolving social contract: they provide services, drive innovation, and shape political discourse. Unfortunately, the culture and systems of the nonprofit sector do not always drive excellence, learning, or collaboration. The whole is less than the sum of its parts. For example: \n\n- proven impact rarely draws additional capital; \n- failure seldom drives learning; \n- shared goals rarely inspire collaboration; \n- the voices of those we try to serve are lost. \n\nThese obstacles limit the overall impact of the field. Until we fix these problems the nonprofit sector will continue to underperform—with profound consequences across society."
