Learn how updating your nonprofit’s Candid profile on GuideStar will grow your organization’s online identity and choose what tens of millions of potential donors see about your organization.

During this introductory session, you will learn what your nonprofit’s Candid profile is and how you can earn Seals of Transparency associated with that profile to tell your story, including sharing information about the work you do and the impact it makes. We will also talk about how to collect demographic data for your organization and the benefits of earning a Gold Seal of transparency.

Upon completion of this course, you'll be able to:

• Plan next steps for telling your organization’s story via its Nonprofit Profile.
• Describe how the information in your Nonprofit Profile informs potential donors and funders and powers 200+ charitable sites.
• Explain how earning Seals of Transparency creates opportunities for your organization to be found, grow trust, and share your impact.

This class is brought to you in partnership with Sno-Isles Libraries - Freeland Library which is a member of Candid’s Funding Information Network, a consortium of partners that provide local nonprofit communities with access to funding databases, nonprofit trainings, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded social sector professionals.
