GuideStar Exchange Seal Holders: Display Your Seal Proudly!

Ever since we launched the GuideStar Exchange, proud Seal holders (representative of nonprofits that have earned the GuideStar Exchange Seal) have asked, "Can we display the Seal on our Web site?" And our answer has always been a regretful "Nooooo."

Well, now you can. If your nonprofit has completed all required fields and received the GuideStar Exchange Seal, you can now download a "widget" (brief code) that will allow you to display the Seal on your Web site. The Seal will automatically link from your site to your organization's GuideStar profile, and it will remain on your site as long as your GuideStar profile remains up to date.

If your organization has received the GuideStar Exchange Seal, follow the steps below to download the widget. Note: you must be one of your profile's managers, that is, have rights to update your organization's profile, to download the widget.

1. Log in at www.guidestar.org.
2. Visit the Manage Nonprofit Reports page.
3. Click the Benefits link for your organization.
4. Click the Get the GuideStar Exchange Seal Widget link.
5. Follow the instructions on the GuideStar Seal Widget page.

For more information, see the Seal widget FAQs.
