By John Plummer, Third Sector Online, 3 March 2010
Transfer deal with GuideStar International covered by confidentiality clause
The Directory of Social Change pledged yesterday to keep the GuideStar UK website free to users after announcing it had taken control of the site from GuideStar International.
The DSC, which provides information and training, mainly for small charities, also acquired GuideStar Data Services, the commercial arm of the organisation.
The terms of the deal are covered by a confidentiality clause, but it is understood no money changed hands.
GuideStar UK holds data on all UK charities in a more searchable form than the Charity Commission database. GuideStar Data Services also gathers details of non-charitable third sector organisations and has information on 350,000 organisations in all.
