Open Chat & MCPSearch and verify 1.9M+ IRS-registered tax-exempt organizations. EIN lookup, fuzzy name search, location browse, 501(c)(3) verification, and financial data. Updated daily from the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File.
The IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File (BMF), refreshed daily. Every IRS-recognized tax-exempt organization in all 501(c) subsections is included — 501(c)(3) charities, 501(c)(4) social welfare, 501(c)(6) trade associations, and the rest.
It confirms IRS recognition as of the last BMF refresh. For a tax deduction or grant decision, also pair it with the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (Pub 78) which covers deductibility specifically. Revoked organizations remain in the BMF with a revocation date.
