What the public record says about your organization

The figures here come from IRS Form 990 filings, reached through ProPublica's free Nonprofit Explorer API. Filings usually become public a year or more after a fiscal year closes, so the record almost always runs behind the organization itself, and a snapshot that looks quiet may simply be waiting on processing.

Organizations with receipts under $50,000 typically file the Form 990-N e-postcard, which shares almost no financial detail. If that's your organization, the public record says very little about you, which also means it does none of your talking for you.

If you're a grantmaker holding a whole list of EINs, the Portfolio Pre-Flight reads them in one pass.

Most of all: these numbers describe money, and money is only part of an organization's health. Two organizations with identical filings can be in very different shape (one with an engaged board, clear decision-making and a plan, the other running on a single person's stamina). The numbers cannot tell those two apart. The people inside the organization can, when someone asks them the right questions confidentially, which is what KindTru's assessment does, across every key category of organizational health, before its planning tools help the organization decide where it is going.
