FAQFrequently Asked Questions

Every record is built directly from IRS Form 990-PF filings — the annual returns US private foundations are required to file. It is not scraped or estimated.

A downloadable spreadsheet of US private foundations classified by cause, with assets, grants paid, whether they accept unsolicited applications, and (on higher tiers) per-funder giving summaries and the full itemized grant record as CSV.

After a one-time card payment you get an instant download — no subscription and no sales call. Refreshed snapshots are included with your purchase.

Directory ($149) is one row per foundation. Pro ($349) adds per-funder giving summaries (grant count, totals, median, top recipients). Intelligence ($849) adds the full itemized grants as CSV plus geographic reach.

Yes — the full directory is free to browse on the site. The dataset is for when you want every funder in one structured file for prospecting, analysis, or import into your tools.

It reflects each foundation’s most recent processed 990-PF filing. Foundations file annually, so figures are historical by nature — they show a funder’s recent giving pattern, not future commitments.
