Next GuideStar Data Transfer: February 25!
As part of GivingMatters.com's partnership with GuideStar.org, the two websites "share" data several times each year. This process is intended to save Middle Tennessee nonprofits time and effort by eliminating the need for organizations to regularly update multiple profiles.
The next Data Transfer is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25. If you want updated information from your profile to transfer to GuideStar, submit changes to GivingMatters.com by Friday, Feb. 13. If you miss this deadline, don't worry - your information will transfer next quarter.
Only GivingMatters.com profiles meeting these criteria will be included:
- Organizations must have unique EINs (not shared with a fiscal agent, parent organization, etc.);
- Profiles must be complete and publicly viewable;
- Profiles must have current expiration dates (have not passed their expiration date);
- Profiles must have been updated since the most recent data transfer (those updated prior to that time would have been included in the last transfer)
If you do NOT want your profile information to be part of this data transfer, please notify us ASAP at givingmatters@cfmt.org.
