Our Data

All data on NonprofitScan comes from public, government sources. We use the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File (EO BMF) for organization information and the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API for multi-year financial filing data. All of this information is public domain per IRS disclosure requirements.

We update our data regularly as new IRS files are released. For more details, see our Data Sources page.
