GuideStar Partners with Root Cause to Rate Charities

The Boston Globe reports that Root Cause, a research and consulting firm, is partnering with GuideStar to publish Root Cause’s rating reports for charities.  The first set of reports relate to school readiness programs in Massachusetts, but according to the article Root Cause expects to expand both nationwide and to charities that address other social issues.  It is not clear whether GuideStar plans to rely primarily on Root Cause to provide ratings for the numerous charities listed on GuideStar, or whether GuideStar will partner with other charity rating organizations.
