IRS Nonprofit Finder — 501(c) Lists with Form 990 Financials

Build targeted nonprofit lists straight from the official IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File (EO BMF). Filter by state, city, ZIP, NTEE cause area, 501(c) type, revenue band, and the year an org was recognized as exempt. You can also add each org's latest Form 990 financials (revenue, expenses, assets, officer pay, PDF link) from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

No login. No scraping of private sites. Every record comes from public government data.

Who it's for

• Grant writers & fundraising consultants: find mid-size 501(c)(3)s ($250k–$5M revenue) in your metro.
• B2B SaaS / agencies selling to nonprofits: donor CRMs, accounting, payroll, web design.
• Bookkeepers & CPAs: orgs crossing the 990-EZ/990 thresholds.
• New-org monitoring: set rulingYearFrom to this year and schedule weekly runs to catch newly recognized charities.
• Researchers & journalists: sector counts by NTEE code and geography.

How it differs from other nonprofit Actors

• Covers all 50 states + DC + PR. Pick one state or many in a single run.
• Cause-area (NTEE) and revenue-band filters that run server-side, so you pay only for the rows you want.
• Optional 990 enrichment in the same run. No second tool needed.
• Human-readable foundation type and NTEE category labels.

Data notes

The IRS updates the EO BMF monthly. Revenue and assets come from the most recent return on file. Small orgs (990-N filers) show blank or zero financials. Contact names, emails, and phones are not included; the IRS does not publish them.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 organizations ($0.002 each). Rows with 990 enrichment cost $5.00 per 1,000. Free-plan users get enough credit to try a city-sized list.
