“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.”

MCP server for AI agents

Building an AI assistant or agent? GiveRadar is also a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://giveradar.com/mcp/ - listed in the official MCP registry as com.giveradar/charity-registry. Agents can search charities, verify registry numbers (EIN, Charity Number, RSIN), compare integrity scores, and read full schema.org profiles - no scraping required.

Your API key works on both surfaces. MCP is included at every tier: anonymous access gives 50 requests/day per IP, a free key raises it to 100/day, and Pro unlocks the same 10,000 requests/day and the financial fields (revenue, program/admin/fundraising ratios, donation and report URLs) through MCP exactly as through REST. Authenticate with the same Authorization: Bearer gr_... header.

Setup instructions for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients are on the MCP server page; for an overview see the charity MCP server landing page.

Open data and research access

GiveRadar's methodology documentation and data schemas are published openly under CC-BY 4.0. Individual donors and researchers get free API access at the developer tier. Academic researchers, journalists, and verified nonprofit evaluators can request expanded free access by contacting us. Commercial developers and organizations sustain the platform through paid API tiers.

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.
