On August 11, 2014, at 2 p.m. EDT, GuideStar held our third ever Impact Call. Loosely based on the quarterly earnings calls held by publicly owned companies, the Impact Call is open to everyone and gives people an opportunity to learn about GuideStar's results in a more timely, interactive, inclusive, and comprehensive manner.
GuideStar Impact Call 5.11.15
Please join GuideStar CEO Jacob Harold, CFO James Lum, and Vice President of Strategy Mizmun Kusairi on Monday, May 11, at 2 p.m. EDT, for our second Impact Call of 2015. During the live discussion, Harold will highlight several of GuideStar’s partnerships and detail how they build sustainable collective impact. Listen in as Harold delves into the power and pitfalls of successful partnerships, including what it takes to establish a common vision, adopt a shared set of measurable goals, and pursue evidence-based actions that reinforce one another’s work and further the social sector.
Harold, Lum, and Kusairi will also discuss last quarter’s organizational and financial achievements, progress toward its $10 million transformational capital campaign, and more.
Please join us for this free moderated discussion about GuideStar’s social impact!
Impact Calls are designed to be interactive and responsive, rather than a one-way conversation. Half of the call will be reserved to answer questions from participants.
Loosely based on the quarterly earnings calls held by publicly owned companies, GuideStar's Impact Calls are the first steps in addressing new definitions of transparency.
During this Impact Call, our Vice President of Products Evan Paul will provide a live demonstration of the beta version of the new, completely redesigned GuideStar Nonprofit Profiles (read more here: http://trust.guidestar.org/2015/10/29/redesigned-nonprofit-profiles-on-guidestar/)
GuideStar's 2016 Impact Call.
On Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 2 p.m. ET, we will hold our next Impact Call. Loosely based on the quarterly earnings calls held by publicly owned companies, GuideStar's Impact Calls are the first steps in addressing new definitions of transparency:
Timely—Impact Calls are held fewer than 60 days after the quarter's or year's end.
Interactive—Impact Calls are meaningful discussions about what our results really mean. Participants have an opportunity to have questions answered in real time.
Inclusive—Everyone is invited to our Impact Call.
Comprehensive—Although we report on finances during our Impact Calls, we also address programmatic and operational metrics as well as our strategy. Finances are only one piece of a much larger picture when it comes to nonprofit impact.
Our goal is not simply to report our results but to jump-start the sector’s conversation on how transparency is defined and conveyed across the sector.

GuideStar led the first revolution in nonprofit transparency by posting IRS Forms 990 online nearly two decades ago. That resulted in greater accountability in nonprofit practice and greater transparency in compensation, program effectiveness, and giving across the sector.
Now we’re helping to lead a second revolution. We want to expand the definition of transparency to be more timely, interactive, inclusive, and comprehensive.
How to leverage hiring data for competitive insightsCourse5i
Most leading companies are not very outspoken about how they operate their business, or plan their strategies and future moves. However, a company’s hiring data can reveal valuable insights and allow you to read in-between the lines. When these insights are correlated with secondary source data, press releases or interviews, it can prove to be a formidable and factual representation of the competitor's focus and momentum in various areas, including new business/products, geographies, and verticals or industries.
This webinar is applicable and highly relevant to all industries that operate at an ultra-fast, dynamic pace and where there are frequent activities that disrupt the course or direction of the industry or market. Attendees will learn how to:
• Understand competitor moves and centers of focus using hiring data
• Leverage insights around new business/products, geographies, vertical/industries and more
• Analyze hiring data and various parameters to identify the strategic moves, investments and priorities
• Compare hiring data periodically and steadily track competitor tactics

Getting it Right: What You Need to Know about Nonprofit Executive CompensationGuideStar
Paying your executives too much can have negative consequences: public anger, loss of tax-exempt status, substantial fines on both the executives who receive the overpayment and the board members who approved it, attention from state attorneys general, and criticism from those who oppose your organization’s mission.
Underpaying your executives has risks too. It can cause valuable employees to leave for greener pastures and make it difficult to attract the best candidates to lead your organization.

We’ve chosen not to include the organizational dashboard in the Impact call anymore as the metrics it contains are directed at internal stakeholders (Board, Leadership Team). Instead we are showing the Evaluation dashboard, which contains metrics directed at external stakeholders or other interested parties. The evaluation dashboard aims to measure how GuideStar is influencing the sector as well as how we are progressing towards the goals set forth in the strategic plan.
NPOs Sharing Data with 3rd Party Portals – This is the number of NPOs regularly sharing any data with 3rd party portals and will be determined by a stakeholder survey. We have not yet administered the survey and therefore data is unavailable. This will be measured on an annual basis.
Exchange Participants are measured on a monthly basis
Talking point about #3: We are only counting updates to GX forms that have a Gold, Silver, or Bronze level. And the update ratio itself only counts Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels. The number of updates is in that current month, not cumulative and if an organization publishes their form 5x/month, is currently counted as a single “update.”
These are metrics from the strategic plan (page 7) that we have committed to grow. Some of these things weren’t tracked on a regular basis in the past, making growth comparisons difficult and, in some cases, not possible. All of these metrics are measured on a monthly basis.
For the above Reach metrics, here is an explanation of why the numbers went down for Q2:
Unique users – this is cyclical in that we always have higher numbers just after the holiday season and it starts to tail off as we approach the end of Q1 and continues through Q2.
# New Registered Users – same as unique users
Number of API hits – Near the end of Q1, one of our old API clients had a software programming error that resulted in an increase of nearly 1.5 million hits. This issue was fixed in Q2, resulting in their usage level dropping back to normal. This skewed the Q1 numbers higher.
