Its first row is Arkansas Animal Rescue Foundation, EIN
205795124, in AR, with a filing period ending
2025-12-31. Follow that row's
foundation filing link, then check the
foundation's current application instructions. Past giving does not establish
current eligibility or guarantee funding.
What's inside each download
- Foundations CSV — one row per foundation: name, EIN, state, total giving, giving to this cause, application details as stated on its own tax form, and example grants.
- Grants CSV — the individual grant line items: recipient, amount, stated purpose.
- Plain-language guide — a workflow for turning the file into a shortlist of likely funders.
Where the data comes from
The IRS publishes every electronically-filed Form 990-PF — the annual return each private foundation must file — as public bulk data. We extract the grant sections, keep organization-level grants only (grants to private individuals, like named scholarship students, are excluded by design), check EIN formats, and ship it as files you actually own. Data edition: 2026-09-04. The edition uses IRS index years 2025 + 2026; the filing period is shown separately in each row. Cause matching uses words in grant descriptions and can miss relevant funders or include imperfect matches. The free sample omits application-contact columns included in the full files.
