Data

Sources

• IRS Form 990 e-file XML releases: the returns themselves, including officers, directors, trustees, key employees and their compensation.
• IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: organization names, EINs, locations and status.
• ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API, where used, to cross-check organizations and link to filings.

Coverage

• E-filed returns only. Organizations that filed on paper are absent.
• Small organizations that file the 990-N postcard report no people, so they have no people data here.
• Coverage starts with the IRS's first public e-file XML release (2011), loaded newest first. Older years are still being added.

Refresh schedule

Every night we check the IRS for newly released filings, load them, and re-link people across filings. The IRS releases e-filed returns in batches, usually monthly, so a return typically appears here a few months after it was filed.

Name matching

Many people share a name. People with the same name are shown as separate records unless the evidence links them, such as the same organization, an overlapping title, or a consistent address across filings.

Every link between records shows its evidence, so you can judge it yourself. When the evidence is thin, we keep the records apart rather than guess.
