Total results cap at 10,000 in the API; if total_results === 10000 the actual count may be higher. Supports quoted phrases ("Red Cross"), required terms (+evanston), excluded terms (-dental).

Full profile for a single tax-exempt org by EIN: legal name, address, NTEE classification, 501(c) type, IRS ruling date, and a financial snapshot from the most recent Form 990 filing (revenue, expenses, assets, net assets, and the source PDF link). Use nonprofit_search first if you only have an org name — this tool requires an EIN. Data lags 1–2 years; the tax year is shown prominently.

All Form 990 filings for a tax-exempt org by EIN: year-by-year revenue, expenses, assets, program-expense ratio (with inputs shown), executive compensation, and source PDF/XML links. Use for trend analysis, due diligence, and accessing primary 990 documents. The filing year (tax_prd_yr) is the fiscal year of the return — data lags 1–2 years; always cite the year. Program expense ratio is computed as (total_expenses − officer comp − other wages − fundraising) / total_expenses for 990/990-EZ; not available for 990-PF. Also returns filings_pdf_only — older filings with a PDF but no extracted financial data. Data from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, sourced from IRS Form 990 filings.
