Dear Friends,
Jacob Harold, GuideStar’s president and CEO, will lead the live discussion
We invite you to please join us on Monday, May 12, at 2 pm ET, for our next Impact Call.
What is an Impact Call?
GuideStar’s Impact Calls proactively provide results in real-time to constituents and encourage a systematic dialogue that inspires data-driven decision-making across the sector. During each Impact Call, our President and CEO, Jacob Harold, alongside our CFO James Lum, will discuss GuideStar’s latest financial and programmatic outcomes, new developments, and lessons learned.
Philanthropy is behind most U.S. sectors because of the lack of real-time feedback loops. GuideStar's Impact Calls are meant to reframe nonprofit transparency to include information that is more timely, interactive, inclusive, and comprehensive.
Loosely based on the quarterly earnings calls held by publicly owned companies, the Impact Call is open to everyone and will be the first step in addressing these new transparency definitions:
Timely–It takes almost a year for nonprofit results to become widely available through IRS Forms 990. That’s just too long. GuideStar host its Impact Calls within 60 days of the quarter (or year) end.
Interactive– The Impact Call will be a dialogue, rather than a one-way conversation. Participants will have an opportunity to have questions answered in real time.
Inclusive– Everyone is invited to the Impact Call. Not just GuideStar's funders but anyone with a stake and interest in its results.
Comprehensive– Finances are only one piece of a much larger picture when it comes to nonprofit impact. GuideStar's Impact Call will also include reporting on programmatic and operational metrics as well as a broader discussion of our strategy.
Our goal is not to simply report our results, but to jump-start the conversation on how transparency is defined and conveyed across the nonprofit sector.
Please participate in our next Impact Call on Monday, May 12 at 2pm ET and invite your networks to attend by using our promotional tool-kit with turn-key content: npo.gs/GSIC2PromoToolKit.
See you there!
