Find the Charity’s Report
Use the SGO search engine to find the charity’s Report. We’ve included more than 300,000 U.S.-based charities are included in the SGO database. Each is a public charity tax-exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and has filed either a Form 990 or a Form 990-EZ information return with the IRS. Note: we have not included organizations whose latest IRS filings report annual revenues of less than $25,000.
Review the Charity’s Report
The charity’s SGO report organizes the charity’s information in seven tabs: Identification – Core Data – Key Data from 990 – Program Evaluation – Money and Ratios – Charity Codes – More Information. The information you find in the charity’s Report will have been placed there through the research and reporting work of SGO staff and other members of the SGO community.
To save the charity for future research or giving, click the “Add this organization to my My Charities list” button at the top of the Report. The charity will be automatically added to your private My Charities page at SGO.
