US Nonprofit Data — EIN, Revenue & Form 990 Financials 💙

foXLabs nonprofit & funding series: UK charities · Canadian charities · NIH grants · NSF awards · Research organizations (ROR)

🎉 Look up any US nonprofit by name or EIN and get its IRS identity plus the Form 990 financials — revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities — as clean rows. No key, no login. Built for nonprofit-sector sales, grant researchers, and anyone sizing an organization before they approach it.

🔍 What is this Actor — and when should you use it?

Every US tax-exempt organization files a Form 990, and those filings are public. This Actor searches the IRS exempt-organization record (through ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer) by name or EIN and returns one row per organization: legal identity, 501(c) subsection, full address, ruling year, how many filings exist — and the headline financials from the most recent filing.

Use it when you need: to qualify a nonprofit by budget size before a sales call; a list of organizations in one state; the EIN for a grant application or a CRM record; or the revenue and asset base behind a foundation.

Use something else when: the charity is not American — use UK charities or Canadian charities. For research funding rather than organizational finances, use the NIH and NSF Actors.

Already on the Apify MCP server? Ask for this Actor by name: foxlabs/us-nonprofit-data.

Your agent can pay for its own runs. This Actor is pay-per-event with agentic payments, so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire — no Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is the same either way: per delivered organization row.

Otherwise paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

Run the Apify actor foxlabs/us-nonprofit-data with
{"queries":["American Red Cross","530196605"],"maxResultsPerQuery":10}
and tell me their revenue and total assets.

🎬 Quick Start

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/foxlabs~us-nonprofit-data/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["American Red Cross","Khan Academy","530196605"],"maxResultsPerQuery":10}'

🚀 Getting Started (3 steps)

1. Put names or EINs into queries. Both forms work; the default run mixes them.
2. Add a state if you want a regional list. state takes a two-letter code.
3. Run it. Rows arrive in the dataset; export to CSV/JSON/Excel or read them over the API.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
queries	array	["American Red Cross","Khan Academy","530196605"]	Nonprofit names or 9-digit EINs
state	string	"" (all)	Two-letter state code to restrict results
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	10	Cap on organizations returned per query
maxConcurrency	integer	4	Parallel requests
requestDelayMs	integer	0	Optional pause between requests
includeRaw	boolean	false	Attach the untouched source record to each row
proxyConfiguration	object	proxy off	The source answers direct requests; enable only if you need it

Example — exact lookup by EIN:

{ "queries": ["530196605", "141683211"], "maxResultsPerQuery": 1 }

Example — regional list:

{ "queries": ["food bank"], "state": "TX", "maxResultsPerQuery": 50 }

📤 Output

One row per organization. Fill rates below are from the measured run (15 rows, 3 queries, 2026-09-20):

Field	Type	Fill	Description
companyName	string	100%	Organization name as filed
registrationNumber	string	100%	EIN, formatted 53-0196605
legalForm	string	100%	501(c) subsection, e.g. 501(c)(3)
status	string	100%	Exempt status
address	string	100%	Full address line
city / state / postalCode	string	100%	Location
countryName	string	100%	Always United States
rulingYear	number	100%	Year the IRS granted exemption
filingCount	number	100%	Number of Form 990 filings on record
revenue	number	80%	Total revenue from the most recent filing
totalAssets	number	80%	Total assets from the most recent filing
industryCode	string	80%	NTEE classification code
expenses	number	53%	Total expenses, where the filing reports them
totalLiabilities	number	53%	Total liabilities, where reported
fiscalYear	number	53%	Fiscal year of the financials
formType	string	53%	Which 990 variant was filed (990, 990-EZ, 990-PF)
careOfName	string	53%	"Care of" contact name on the filing, where present
sourceUrl	string	100%	Nonprofit Explorer page for the organization
country / registry / query / scrapedAt	string	100%	Provenance fields
industry	string	0%	The source publishes a numeric NTEE code but no industry label — use industryCode; this column stayed empty on every measured row

Why the financial fields are not at 100%: small organizations file the short 990-EZ or 990-N, which carry fewer figures, and the newest filings are sometimes indexed before their financial detail lands. filingCount tells you how much history exists for an organization.

Columns the source does not publish at all (tax number, incorporation and dissolution dates, headcount, capital, website, e-mail, phone, officers) were removed rather than shipped permanently empty.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The IRS exempt-organization record is public and this Actor needs no key, login or proxy.

Can I look up by EIN? Yes — put the 9-digit EIN in queries, with or without the dash.

How current are the financials? They come from the most recent Form 990 on record. Nonprofits file annually and the IRS publishes with a lag, so the newest year is usually one to two years behind.

Why does an organization show no revenue? It most likely filed a 990-EZ or 990-N, which carry less financial detail. filingCount shows how many filings exist.

Does it include officer compensation? No. This Actor returns organization-level identity and headline financials, not the schedules.

Can I get every nonprofit in a state? Search a broad term with state set and raise maxResultsPerQuery; the source paginates search results rather than dumping the full register.

🐛 Troubleshooting

A name returns the wrong organization. Nonprofits often share names across states. Search the EIN for an exact match, or add state.

Fewer rows than expected. maxResultsPerQuery caps per query — raise it, or split queries across runs.

Financial fields are empty for small charities. Expected: the short filing forms do not carry those figures. Use filingCount and rulingYear to judge organization maturity instead.

⚠️ Trademark

The IRS is a US federal agency and ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer is an independent journalism project. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and reads only publicly published exempt-organization filings.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape this data?

Form 990 filings are public by law — Congress made them disclosable precisely so donors and the public can see how tax-exempt organizations use their money. The rows this Actor returns are organizational records and financial totals, not personal data. You remain responsible for how you use the output.
