An add-on to grab whatever U.S. nonprofit tax information you want from the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API and put it in a Google spreadsheet!
Nonprofit corporations in the United States have to submit one of a few types of tax forms to the IRS each year, which are then made public. If their total revenue is over $200,000 in a year, they submit a form 990, if it is between $50,000 and $199,999, they submit a form 990-ez, and if it is under $50,000, they submit a 990-N (e-postcard). The information obtained from these forms from 2011-2014 is what has been made available through the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer API. From this, we might be able to learn:
If you have a list of nonprofit organizations, this will loop through that list, use the API's Search Method to find an org's EIN number, and then use the EIN number and the Organization Method to find out whatever else you want to find out (e.g. total revenues, location, number of volunteers, etc). It then gently places all of that info into your Google Spreadsheet.
