Check a charity
Verify any U.S. nonprofit before you donate. Search by name or EIN to confirm it's legitimate and see its financial grade — all from official IRS data.
Start typing a charity's name or EIN — we'll confirm its status and grade right here, then you can open the full profile.
Legitimacy & 501(c)(3) status
Confirm the organization is registered with the IRS and what subsection it files under.
Tax-deductibility & EIN
See whether donations are tax-deductible and get the EIN for your receipt.
Financials & grade
Review revenue, spending, executive pay and an A+ to F financial grade from Form 990 data.
Why check before you give
Anyone can use a charitable-sounding name. Confirming the EIN and 501(c)(3) status protects your donation and your tax deduction. Once you've found the organization, estimate your tax savings with the donation calculator, or put two charities side by side with Compare.
