About This Tool

How Organizations Are Selected

• Organizations must serve a listed location and accept donations from the public.
• We prioritize IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charities, though some funds and international programs may be structured differently.
• Each entry is manually reviewed against the organization's public website and available IRS data.
• No organization pays to be listed. Listing does not constitute an endorsement.

What “Verified” Means

Each entry is manually reviewed to confirm that:

• The organization's website is active and the donate link resolves.
• The stated intents, geography, and recurring-donation support match publicly available information.
• The 501(c)(3) status field reflects the organization's IRS tax-exempt status based on public records.

Verification is manual and periodic — it does not guarantee accuracy at the moment you view the site.

Filters Explained

• Tax-deductible only — shows only organizations where donations are deductible under IRS rules. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
• Small / local orgs only — filters to “small” orgs in our size classification, generally community-based nonprofits with local leadership.
• Recurring-friendly — shows only organizations that explicitly support automatic recurring (monthly) donations.
