The nonprofit profiles on GuideStar have undergone a major redesign to present key performance data in a more user-friendly format. The new profiles emphasize programs and results, along with financial and organizational metrics to facilitate easy comparison. The profiles now include interactive data displays, and the traditional pie charts depicting overhead costs have been replaced with liquidity ratios and figures showing the organization’s months of cash on hand. GuideStar says the new features make it easier for users to understand multiyear trends in an organization’s financial performance, stability, revenue model and grant support.
