Spring GuideStar Data Transfer Update
 One of the many benefits of maintaining a current GivingMatters.com profile is the GuideStar data transfer, now taking place quarterly. Approximately once each quarter, any updates made to your
organization's GivingMatters.com profile during that quarter will transfer to GuideStar.org, a nationally-used database of charity information, eliminating the need for your organization to manually update your information on the GuideStar Exchange!
This transfer process was completed last month, resulting in the creation of 17 new GuideStar Exchange profiles, and 404 updated nonprofit profiles.
Thanks to all who updated and were a part of this process!
