This year GuideStar awarded Nativity Prep Academy with their Gold Seal of Transparency. GuideStar’s Seal of Transparency program was created in order to ensure donors that the causes they were donating to were real non-profit entities that were truly using donations for the causes they advertised. GuideStar has four levels of seals: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each level is determined by the amount of information a non-profit entity shares about itself with GuideStar. GuideStar then uses this information to confirm with government agencies and other resources that each entity is not a scam or other illegal enterprise. If all the information a non-profit shares with GuideStar is found to be true and accurate, GuideStar then awards that entity with a Seal of Transparency.
