[Guidestar](http://www.guidestar.org), the huge Web resource for nonprofits in the
US and internationally, has been awarded over $3.5 million to extend and enhance
its information services. Grants have been awarded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
the Andrew W Mellon Foundation, the Rockerfeller Brothers Fund, and the Philanthropic
Collaborative.

GuideStar’s key resource is its information on more than 600,000 US 501(c) (3) nonprofit
groups in the US. The information is gathered by GuideStar itself and from the Internal
Revenue Service.
