Unlimited nonprofit eligibility checks for global payouts

Nonprofit Eligibility is Change’s global verification and compliance infrastructure for platforms and foundations that support and work with nonprofits. It determines whether an organization is eligible to receive funds by running real-time checks across IRS records, sanctions lists, state-level regulators, and international sources. Unlike static datasets, it’s designed for products that facilitate donations, payouts, or nonprofit partnerships.

We verify nonprofits across multiple authoritative data sources, including IRS Pub 78, the Business Master File (BMF), OFAC sanctions lists, state-level regulators such as the California Attorney General, and international equivalency determination letters, among other sources. These checks are combined into a single, structured eligibility result so your team doesn’t need to manually reconcile multiple systems.

Yes. Nonprofit Eligibility is API-first and designed to integrate directly into your existing workflows. You can run real-time checks during onboarding, before enabling donations, or prior to payouts. We also support batch processing for large datasets and dashboard access for manual workflows.

Yes. We continuously monitor nonprofit status after the initial check. If a nonprofit’s status changes, such as a revocation, compliance issue, or new restriction, you’ll be notified so you can take action quickly and stay compliant.

Yes. Nonprofit Eligibility is designed to support modern regulatory requirements, including California AB 488. It helps platforms verify nonprofit eligibility, track written consent, and maintain records needed for compliance and reporting.

No. While we provide deep coverage of U.S. regulatory data, including IRS and state-level checks, we also support a global nonprofit database. This allows platforms to scale internationally while maintaining consistent verification workflows.

If a nonprofit is flagged as ineligible or restricted, we return a clear status along with the reason. Your platform can then block donations, route the case for manual review, or take other actions based on your internal policies.
