Charity · Form 990 filings, year by year

Any US nonprofit’s money, year by year, as it filed it.

Tax-exempt organisations in the United States report their finances to the IRS on Form 990, and those returns are public. Find an organisation by name or by its Employer Identification Number and read what it filed: total revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities, contributions and grants received, program service revenue and the compensation of its officers — one row for each tax period, each with its form, the month it ended and a link to the return itself.

The figures are the IRS’s, read through ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer. They are shown as filed and arrive one to two years after the year they cover. Nothing here is a rating, and a year with no return in the source is shown as exactly that, never as zero.

Find an organisation Reading a year Where it comes from

Nothing is asked of any source until you search or open an organisation.

The search

Find an organisation by name, or by EIN.

Names are searched as the IRS master file spells them, so the legal name finds more than a nickname. Narrow by state, by the ten broad categories of the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities, or by the section of the tax code the organisation is exempt under. If you have the nine-digit EIN, type it instead.

The organisation

Its years, as filed.

Open an organisation and its record lands here, at an address of its own that can be copied and shared. Add a second and the two are set side by side on one scale.

Search above, or open one of the two examples, and the organisation’s years appear here.

Reading a year

What each figure is, and what it is not.

Every figure is one line of a return, as the organisation filed it and as the IRS keyed it into its annual extract. Three forms carry figures, and they do not carry the same ones.

The three forms

  • Form 990 — the full return. All seven figures on this page.
  • Form 990-EZ — the short return for smaller organisations. The extract has no line for officers’ compensation, so that cell says “not in the 990-EZ extract”.
  • Form 990-PF — private foundations. Revenue and expenses are the return’s “per books” totals; the extract has no program service revenue line. A foundation’s return states its assets at book value and at fair market value, and the two can differ; the total here is the figure the source gives as total assets, to be checked against the filed return.

The form and the month the tax period ended are printed in every row. A tax period is the organisation’s own: many end in June or September, not December. The year shown is the one the period ended in; the IRS names the form by the year the period began, so a year ended June 2023 is on the 2022 form.

A missing year is not zero

  • No return in this source means only that: the source holds no return for a tax period ending in that year. The chart leaves a gap there.
  • A return on file, without figures — the document exists (and is linked where the source links it) but its lines are not in the IRS extract the source carries. The newest year is often in this state.
  • The smallest organisations (normally under $50,000 a year) file Form 990-N, an electronic postcard with no financial figures. Postcards are not in this source.
  • Churches and some other religious organisations need not file at all, and may not be in the IRS master file.

The seven figures

  • Total revenue and total expenses, for the tax year.
  • Revenue minus expenses — the one figure computed on this page, from the two beside it.
  • Total assets and total liabilities, at the end of the tax year.
  • Contributions and grants received, and program service revenue (what the organisation earned from its own activities).
  • Compensation of officers — the one total the extract gives for current officers, directors, trustees and key employees. Not a list of people: this page shows no one’s name. Who was paid what is in the filed return.

What this page will not tell you

How an organisation is run, or where to give. No score, grade or ranking is printed, and no ratio of one figure to another: a single year of a single line says little by itself, and returns differ in how they classify the same spending. Dollars are as filed, not adjusted for inflation. Amended returns, audits and the schedules behind each total are in the filed return and on ProPublica’s own page for the organisation, which every record here links to.

Method

One source, read when you ask. Nothing guessed.

Checked with real requests on 7 October 2026. Every figure on this page is the source’s, printed with its tax period and the time it was read.

The source — ProPublica, Nonprofit Explorer

What is read. Two questions of its API: /nonprofits/api/v2/search.json (a name, a state, a category, a subsection) and /nonprofits/api/v2/organizations/<EIN>.json (one organisation and its filings). No key is needed and none is used.

Where its figures come from. The IRS: the Annual Extract of Tax-Exempt Organization Financial Data (the lines of each Form 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF) and the Exempt Organizations Business Master File (names, places and classification codes). The filed returns it links are the IRS’s releases of the documents.

How fresh. As fresh as the IRS’s releases. On the day this page was checked, the newest figures were for tax periods ended in 2023, loaded into Nonprofit Explorer in August 2025, and its copy of the master file was dated 16 September 2026; returns for periods ended in 2024 were on file as documents only. Each record on this page prints its own dates.

Source: ProPublica, Nonprofit Explorer (its API), used under ProPublica’s Data Terms of Use. Its own citation: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API; IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File Extract (EO BMF); IRS Annual Extract of Tax-Exempt Organization Financial Data. IRS data is a work of the United States government.

What those terms ask, and what this page does

  • Cite ProPublica. Every record and every search answer here names it and links to it, and every organisation links to its own page on Nonprofit Explorer.
  • Do not republish the data whole, or hand it on by itself. This page asks for one organisation or one page of search results at a time, when a reader asks, and shows it here. It offers no download and no feed, and its relay answers this page only, with the fields this page reads and no others.
  • Do not change the data. Figures are printed digit for digit. The one sum made here is labelled as computed here.
  • Do not charge for it or sell advertising against it. This page is free and carries no advertising.
  • No guarantee. ProPublica does not guarantee the data’s accuracy or completeness, and neither can this page. Where this page and the filed return disagree, the return is right.

The codes, in words

What kind of organisation. The subsection code (501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) …), the foundation code and the filing requirement code are the IRS master file’s; their wording here follows the IRS’s own table of codes (its master file documentation, dated February 2024), shortened in places. A code is what the master file says, not a finding of this page: where an organisation’s returns are on file beside a code that says it files none, the page shows both.

The NTEE category. The code is the master file’s; its title is from the National Center for Charitable Statistics’ table of the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (26 major groups, 633 codes). Many organisations have no NTEE code, and the page says so.

Code tables: IRS, EO BMF; NCCS, Urban Institute, NTEE. Both read 7 October 2026.

What this page does not know

  • Anything newer than the extract. Figures arrive one to two years after the year they cover.
  • Postcard filers’ finances, and organisations that do not file (see Reading a year).
  • Whether a return was amended. The source gives one set of figures for a tax period.
  • Who the people are. No officer, director or donor is named here, and no address beyond city and state is shown or sent to your browser.
  • Whether an organisation still exists or is still recognised as exempt today. The IRS’s own Tax Exempt Organization Search answers that; each record links to it, to be searched by EIN.

When the source does not answer

The page says so in words, with the reason the relay gives — slow, rate-limited, down, or an answer it could not read — and shows nothing made up in its place. If this browser has read the organisation before, that copy is shown, marked “Not live” with the time it was read. The relay itself keeps each answer for one day, and for up to thirty days serves its last copy, said so, when ProPublica cannot be reached.

What happens to what you type

A name, a filter or an EIN goes from your browser to a small relay on this site, which asks ProPublica; ProPublica sees this site’s server and the question, not you. The relay counts requests for five minutes under a keyed hash of your network address, so one visitor cannot use up everyone’s share, and writes no record of its own of who asked what. The web server that hosts this site may log requests, as servers do.

An open organisation lives in the address bar (#ein=…), which is what makes its link shareable; the site’s analytics may record an address as it stands. This browser keeps the last eight organisations it read (labs.charity.v1) to show when the source is down; “Forget these” under the search removes them. See also Legal.
