🚀 Collect nonprofit charity ratings and financial data from the world's largest charity evaluator. Get organization names, EIN numbers, star ratings, scores, causes, revenue, assets, and donation eligibility for 200,000+ charities. Search by keyword, cause, size, state, and rating.

Researching nonprofits for donations, grants, or partnerships requires structured financial and quality data. Charity Navigator rates over 200,000 nonprofits, but extracting this data manually is slow and does not scale when you need to evaluate hundreds of organizations.

The Charity Navigator Nonprofit Ratings Scraper automates this process, pulling structured charity data with flexible filtering by keyword, cause, size, state, and rating. Whether you are a donor researching charities, a foundation evaluating grantees, or a researcher analyzing the nonprofit sector, this tool delivers clean data in seconds.
