Nonprofit Data Transparency
Every data source we use, every correction we make, and every quality flag we set, documented in full. Our nonprofit data comes from publicly available IRS data.
IRS Data Is a Mess
Nonprofit filings come in inconsistent formats, with freeform titles, truncated names, missing fields, and structural differences across form types. Raw IRS data is difficult to use for any meaningful analysis.
We Use AI and AI Agents
To continuously clean and analyze the data. We standardize titles across 29M+ records, backfill missing organization names, infer fields the IRS doesn't provide, and flag erroneous filings. The result is a structured, queryable dataset you can actually trust.
We're also releasing our own AI Data Chat soon so you can ask questions about nonprofit data directly.
Join the Waitlist2024
Is the most recent tax year that is most complete and is used in most data insight calculations across the platform.
Always Scanning
We continuously scan IRS sources for newly transmitted filings. These filings fill out multiple tax years, including past years for late filers, organizations on extensions, and amended returns, so counts across all recent years grow over time. We keep a log so you can see how many filings are added and when.

Filings are still accumulating across recent years. Organizations file on different fiscal year-ends and the IRS processes e-filings on a rolling basis, so counts for the most recent 2–3 tax years will continue to grow. Tax years with fewer than 1,000 filings are excluded.

Data Sources
IRS Form 990
Full Form 990 filed by larger tax-exempt organizations. Includes detailed financials, compensation, governance, and program information.
Known Limitations
- •Self-reported data. The IRS does not independently verify every figure
- •Amended returns may not be immediately reflected
- •Compensation may include multi-year deferred comp vesting in a single year
IRS Form 990-EZ
Shorter form for smaller organizations (gross receipts < $200K, total assets < $500K). Reports less detail than the full 990 with no program/admin/fundraising expense split.
Known Limitations
- •No program/admin/fundraising expense breakdown, so derived ratios are unavailable
- •Officer status inferred from title (not explicitly reported on 990-EZ filings)
IRS Form 990-PF
Filed by private foundations. Includes investment income, grants awarded, and excise tax details not found on other 990 forms.
Known Limitations
- •Uses a different revenue schedule than the full 990
- •Expense breakdown differs from 990. Zero ratios replaced with NULL to avoid misleading values
IRS Form 990-T
Filed by tax-exempt organizations with unrelated business income (UBI). Reports gross income, deductions, and tax on activities not related to the organization's exempt purpose.
Known Limitations
- •Only filed by organizations with unrelated business income, so coverage is limited to a subset of exempt organizations
- •Activity-level detail varies by filer
IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard)
Annual electronic notice filed by small organizations (gross receipts ≤ $50K). Contains only basic identifying information with no financials.
Known Limitations
- •No financial data. Only organization name, EIN, address, and filing confirmation
- •Organization names are often truncated or abbreviated; backfilled from BMF where possible
IRS Tax-Exempt Revocations
Organizations whose tax-exempt status has been automatically revoked by the IRS for failure to file required returns for three consecutive years.
Known Limitations
- •Covers automatic revocations only. Voluntary terminations and IRS-initiated revocations may not be included
- •Reinstatements may lag behind revocation records
IRS Business Master File (BMF)
A publicly available IRS dataset that serves as the authoritative registry of all tax-exempt organizations. Used for metadata enrichment: full legal names, NTEE codes, ruling dates, subsection codes, and foundation types.
Known Limitations
- •Does not contain financial data. Used only for metadata enrichment
- •Some organizations may not yet appear if recently granted exemption
Derived & Computed Fields
Fields we calculate from the raw filing data: expense ratios, revenue minus expenses, officer compensation totals for EZ filers, and normalized titles.
Known Limitations
- •Derived values depend on the accuracy of the underlying self-reported data
- •Ratios set to NULL where the underlying data is structurally unavailable (e.g., EZ/PF forms)
Data Activity Log
Every change to our nonprofit data, in reverse chronological order
Known Limitations
- Filing lag: There is typically a 6–18 month lag between the end of an organization's fiscal year and when that filing data becomes available. The most recent tax year shown may still be accumulating filings.
- Self-reported data: All 990 data is self-reported by the filing organization. The IRS does not independently verify every figure at the time of filing.
- Form differences: 990-EZ and 990-PF forms report different fields than the full 990. Expense breakdowns, officer indicators, and revenue schedules vary by form type. Where fields are structurally unavailable, we show NULL rather than a misleading zero.
- Amendments: Organizations may file amended returns that correct previously reported data. These amendments may not be immediately reflected on the platform.
