“I specifically chose GiveRadar after discovering it was highly recommended alongside major sources like the IRS and ProPublica. The data quality is exceptional, the team is very competent and responsive, even facilitating a full dataset delivery directly to my S3 bucket, which saved me months of manual API calls and technical overhead.”

How the API supports the public mission
The paid API tiers fund the work that keeps GiveRadar free for donors, researchers, and public-interest use. Every dollar of commercial API revenue goes back into expanding coverage, improving data quality, building new transparency features, and maintaining the free donor-facing platform. We do not take advertising revenue from charities, nor do we allow charities to pay for improved integrity assessments.
This separation matters: if you are a donor researching a charity, the integrity assessment you see is never influenced by who paid for anything. If you are a commercial developer using our data at scale, you help sustain the platform for everyone else.
