Q. Where can I find information about a nonprofit?

We suggest starting with the Nonprofit Organizations research guide.

Specifically:

• Guidestar. (Website with limited free information). Source of Form 990
• Nonprofit Explorer (website) Source of Form 990
• Nonprofit Sector Yellow Book : Who's who in the management of the leading foundations, universities, museums, and other nonprofit organizations REF DESK HD2769.2 U6 N66 (Hardcopy)
• National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations available through Gale Directory Library from our Database A to Z listing.
• Keyword searching for articles in NexisUni (formerly LexisNexis Academic) or ProQuest Central.

ProPublica.org, the source of the Nonprofit Explorer, also created this guide for investigating nonprofits called Resources for Investigating Tax-Exempt Organizations.
