Every grant reported on a US nonprofit tax return: 6,465,185 grant records totalling over $680 billion, parsed from Form 990-PF and Form 990 Schedule I. Each record names the funding organisation by EIN, the recipient, the cash amount and the stated purpose. This is the file that answers “which foundations fund organisations like mine”, and it is not sold as a bulk download anywhere else.

The file has all 6,465,185 grant awards in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Fields

- `funder_ein`: EIN of the organisation that awarded the grant
- `recipient`: Recipient organisation name as written on the return
- `recipient_ein`: Recipient EIN where the form required one (Schedule I)

## Questions

### Is this the same data as GuideStar or Candid?

It comes from the same public IRS sources Candid uses — they list them on candid.org/about/our-data/data-sources. Against Candid's published Essentials API schema we match 41 of the 66 fields it returns, which is 84% of the fields reproducible from public records. What we do not have is the part organisations submit to Candid directly: board rosters, DEI demographics, Seals of Transparency, awards and photos. If you need those, Candid is the right purchase. If you need the whole file as a CSV, this is.

### Why is this so much cheaper than a Candid API subscription?

Candid sells a subscription starting at $4,800 a year. This is a one-off purchase — and you are not giving up API access to get the lower price. The same 6,465,185 records are available three ways: the bulk CSV, our MCP server for programmatic queries, and per-record pricing so an application or AI agent can pull just the rows it needs. What you are not paying for is an annual seat.

### Do you have an API, or only CSV downloads?

Both. Every dataset is exposed through our MCP server — search, sample, quote, buy and query — and priced per record, so you can pull a single EIN or a filtered slice without buying the file. Payment is by card or stablecoin with no account to create. The CSV is simply the cheapest route once you want more than about half the rows.

### How do I know an organisation on this list still exists?

Every row carries activity_status. “filing” means the organisation filed a 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF or 990-N postcard within the last two tax years. “revoked” means it appears on the IRS auto-revocation list with no later determination letter. Registration alone is not treated as evidence of life — 435,906 organisations in the full IRS file have no filing on record at all.

### What is missing, and can you add it?

Deep Form 990 financial detail (every line of Parts VIII–X), websites and logos for organisations that did not report one, and subject/population classification beyond the IRS NTEE code. All three are buildable — the 990 line items are in files we already hold. Choose “Custom enrichment” at checkout and we will scope it with you.

### Can an AI agent buy a slice of this instead of the whole file?

Yes. The dataset is exposed through our MCP server with per-record pricing, so an agent can query and pay for exactly the rows it needs rather than the whole download.
