A profile that builds trust
Your organization's verified profile, projects and endorsements, in one place you control.
Your record, checked and filled in for you.
Add your EIN and For Purpose pulls your organization's public record from Candid, the most trusted source of nonprofit data in the U.S. Our team reviews every organization before it's marked verified.
- Good standing, confirmed. Your EIN is checked against IRS records: Pub 78, the master file, revocations and sanctions lists. Refreshed every 30 days.
- Less typing. Mission, founding year, budget, staff, cause areas and logo come in from your Candid profile. An admin picks what to bring in, and nothing you entered is overwritten.
- Verified by people. Staff review your organization before it gets the Verified badge. The automated checks advise them; a person decides.
- You control what's shown. Privacy settings set what each profile field shows, and only your admins act on your organization's behalf.
Every figure names its source. Refreshed every 30 days.
