Charity Checker — Research Any Nonprofit Before You Give
Before you donate, it’s worth knowing where your money actually goes.
CharityNine.org pulls the latest IRS filing for any registered nonprofit and turns it into a plain-English 9-part report — program spending, fundraising costs, highest-paid executive compensation, cash reserves, AI-assisted news analysis, and more. In under 3 minutes. Free for your first 18 reports.
Find out things like:
- How much goes to programs vs. administration and fundraising
- What the top program is by spending — a good way to check whether the charity’s focus matches your giving goals
- What the highest-paid executive earns
- What outside consultants and fundraising contractors are paid
- Are there warnings in the news about this organization?
Donors give billions to nonprofits every year based on little more than an appealing name, a celebrity endorsement, or a heartbreaking story. CharityNine.org gives you the IRS data behind the appeal — analyzed, calculated, and explained in plain English.
If you advise clients on charitable giving — as a financial advisor, attorney, or accountant — this tool is worth knowing about and sharing.
