Ownership of www.guidestar.org.uk, the free public website, and GuideStar Data Services (CIC) has been transferred from GuideStar International to the Directory of Social Change.
This combines the most detailed repository of information about charities and the voluntary sector with the largest publisher of information for those who work in it.
Ben Wittenberg, director of policy & research at the Directory of Social Change, said: "We believe this combined entity can refresh and strengthen the sector and we are excited about how GDS' service providing bespoke information on the sector will support DSC's mission of connecting people and working towards social change.
"Together we will get more of the right information to people who need it so that charities can be more effective in achieving their ambitions. DSC will continue to provide its comprehensive range of services to the voluntary and community sector, including training services, publications and funding websites.
"We will be working closely with the GuideStar team to develop a range of new services, the first of which will be for funders - we will send you more information about this in the next few days."
