What is an EIN?

An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is the unique nine-digit identifier the IRS assigns to a US organization, including every registered nonprofit. It is written with a dash after the first two digits, like 12-3456789. Because a name can be shared or change over time, the EIN is the most reliable way to pin down one specific organization.

You can usually find a nonprofit's EIN on its IRS Form 990, its donation receipts and acknowledgement letters, or its website. Once you have it, an EIN lookup is the fastest way to confirm you are looking at the right charity, because the match is exact.

2

Read the Integrity Assessment

See the 0 to 100 Integrity Assessment, registry-filed financials, officers, and any red flags to judge whether the organization is active and transparent.

Frequently asked questions

How do I look up a nonprofit by its EIN?+

Enter the nonprofit's nine-digit EIN in the search box above, with or without the dash (for example 13-1644147 or 131644147). EIN matching is exact, so it lands you on the right organization. GiveRadar returns the registration status, EIN, location, an Integrity Assessment from 0 to 100, financials, officers, and any red flags. The data comes from official government registries, including IRS Tax Exempt Organization records for US nonprofits.

What is an EIN and what does it look like?+

An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is the unique nine-digit identifier the IRS assigns to a US organization, including nonprofits. It is formatted with a dash after the first two digits, like 12-3456789. Every registered US nonprofit has one, and it is the most reliable way to identify a specific organization because, unlike a name, it is unique and never shared between two charities.

How do I find a nonprofit's EIN?+

Search GiveRadar for the nonprofit by name and open its profile; the EIN is listed on the page. You can also find it on the organization's IRS Form 990, its donation receipts or acknowledgement letters, or its official website. Once you have the EIN, you can search by it directly for an exact match.

Is the nonprofit EIN lookup free?+

Yes. Searching and viewing nonprofit profiles is free and needs no signup. A free REST API is also available for programmatic EIN lookups, with paid tiers for higher volume.

Is GiveRadar the same as the IRS?+

No. The IRS is the official source for EINs and federal tax-exempt status. GiveRadar is a research and verification database that aggregates official IRS and government registry data and adds a layer on top: an Integrity Assessment, registry-filed financials, officer and governance data, contact details, news context, and automated red flags. GiveRadar is not a donation processor and never handles donations.
