Search Tips powered by GuideStar

Search for a Specific Nonprofit

  • Type the organization's name in the search box with quotation marks.

    Example: "new york university" will put New York University at the top of your results.

  • Our search engine uses a complex algorithm to sort organizations by relevance, according to your criteria. Relevancy is based on a number of factors:

    • Name
    • City, State, Zip Code
    • Keyword frequency and position in a number of text fields
    • Organization size (based on assets and income)

    The search engine looks at numerous fields of information for each organization to decide its relevancy.

Search for Many Nonprofits

  • Typing a single term such as university will usually return more organizations than you want. Try typing multiple words in the search box.

    Example: new york university medical will give you a manageable list of universities in New York that work, research, or teach in the field of medicine.

  • Organizations are listed in the search results in order of relevance.
