New Tool Makes It Easier to See Non-Profit Tax Records

Charity Navigator has released a new digital tool for researchers, data scientists and enthusiasts to use to explore non-profits' public tax records. The Digitized Form 990 Decoder features a database of more than 1.7 million tax records. Of these, more than 900,000 have been processed, ranging from more than 33,000 2009 Form 990 filings to nearly 216,000 2014 Form 990 filings.

The project is ongoing and open-source. Charity Navigator, which aims to inform donors of their contribution choices, hopes other developers will design improvements to make the tool even more robust and comprehensive. Go to http://990.charitynavigator.org/ to find the Decoder.
