If your nonprofit has 501(c)(3) status, we may already have you listed! Please follow the steps to find it and claim your profile: https://www.every.org/nonprofits/get-started.
If you can’t find your nonprofit through the search bar (try searching by EIN too!), there are several possible reasons. For example:
- The nonprofit may operate as a fiscally sponsored project of a different 501(c)(3) nonprofit, unable to receive donations directly (in which case only the fiscal sponsor is searchable).
- If the nonprofit is a fiscally sponsored project, a project must be created by its US 501(c)(3) public charity fiscal sponsor. Learn more here.
- The nonprofit may be a chapter or other subsidiary under a group exemption with a parent organization (in which case only the parent organization is searchable) and it doesn't have a separate EIN. This is common for religious organizations and PTA’s for example.
- The organization may be a 501(c)(4) or a fiscally sponsored project of a 501(c)(4), which doesn't have restrictions on lobbying and we're unable to support on our platform.
- The nonprofit may have a different legal name on their government filings or governing documents.
- The nonprofit may have had its tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS.
If none of the reasons above apply and you still can't find your nonprofit, please reach out to support@every.org.
