Common Results Catalog
The GuideStar Common Results Catalog allows organizations to measure progress and results. Since the metrics your organization shares are your choice, they should reflect what you already collect and use. To help you think about them, the Common Results Catalog was created. This catalog contains all of the metrics currently in our database—by subject area—developed in consultation with teams of experts. Browse the catalog to see what metrics make sense for your organization. If you don’t find a metric that fits, you can add a custom metric.
More than Numbers
The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies (Schusterman) developed this More than Numbers guide for organizations who seek to apply a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) lens to their internal data collection processes and assess and improve how they collect constituent information through tools such as alumni surveys and program evaluations. This guide does not address data collection for formal demography, national population estimates or academic research.
