About This Data
What Is This Data?
Nonprofit Explorer includes summary data for nonprofit tax returns and
full Form 990 documents, in both PDF and digital formats.
The summary data contains information processed by the IRS during the
2012-2019 calendar years; this generally consists of filings for the
2011-2018 fiscal years, but may include older records. This data release
includes only a subset of what can be found in the full Form 990s.
In addition to the raw summary data, we link to PDFs and digital copies
of full Form 990 documents wherever possible. This consists of separate
releases by the IRS of Form 990 documents processed by the agency, which
we update regularly.
We also link to copies of audits nonprofit organizations that spent
$750,000 or more in Federal grant money in a single fiscal year since
2016. These audits are copied from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
Which Organizations Are Here?
Every organization that has been recognized as tax exempt by the IRS
has to file Form 990 every year, unless they make less than $200,000
in revenue and have less than $500,000 in assets, in which case they
have to file form 990-EZ. Organizations making less than $50,000
don’t have to file either form but do have to let the IRS they’re
still in business via a
Form 990N "e-Postcard."
Nonprofit Explorer has organizations claiming tax exemption in each
of the 27 subsections of the 501(c) section of the tax code, and
which have filed a Form 990, Form 990EZ or Form 990PF. Taxable
trusts and private foundations that are required to file a form
990PF are also included. Small organizations filing a Form 990N
"e-Postcard" are not included in this data.
Types of Nonprofits
There are 27 nonprofit designations based on the numbered
subsections of section 501(c) of the tax code.
