NY Nonprofit Search
A free, open-source search engine and API for all IRS-registered nonprofits in New York, built with fuzzy search for easy discovery.
Project Details
Access to up-to-date nonprofit data in New York is often fragmented or locked behind expensive paywalls. NY Nonprofit Search was created to solve this problem by providing a free, open-source alternative for nonprofits, researchers, and the public. The tool uses the latest IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File as its direct source of truth, ensuring data accuracy and reliability. It features a fast, user-friendly website with fuzzy search capabilities, allowing users to easily find organizations even with partial or misspelled names. The project is available as both a web application and a simple API, making it a versatile resource for anyone needing to access information on nonprofits registered in New York State.
