Charities in United States
About this register
The IRS Business Master File lists every organisation recognised as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), the status that makes donations deductible for donors who itemise. Financial history comes from the Form 990 and 990-EZ extracts published by the IRS Statistics of Income division, so smaller organisations that file the 990-N postcard show registration details only. Browse by cause or by state; 1,649,178 organisations are listed by state here.
