CharityCheck Directory Search

Charity SherlockDig before you donate — check an organization’s identity — heed the warnings of the FBI, IRS, FTC, NASCO and state attorneys general.

The CharityCheck directory includes every charity and nonprofit organization listed by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from federal income taxes. If you already have the organization’s EIN, use the Reverse Lookup page.
