Philanthropedia is a charity evaluator that tries to rate "verified, financially responsible" charities. In 2011, it was acquired by charity evaluator GuideStar, but it continues to operate a separate website continuing the work it did prior to its acquisition.

Operations
Philanthropedia first locates experts including "foundation professionals, academics, researchers, nonprofit senior staff, policy makers, and other professionals working in the cause we’re studying at the moment." These experts are then asked to fill out a survey recommending charities. All expert comments and reviews are published on the Philanthropedia website and are used to rate charities.
