How It Works
Unlike the other tool, this tool is designed for browsing. It's not perfect, but it lets you see what's going on directly.
Why you should use it
There are 773,000 charities this site is tracking with 1,300,000 grants and 100,000 grants from the USG. If 5% of them are corrupt, that's still 35,000 to research. We need to get a little barn raising here if we're going to reclaim our country, only you know the suspect charities in your area. So you can start at any charity you can find, and then explore where are they getting their money, and who are they giving their money to? If you know the EIN, start there. If you don't you can try the keyword search. Find a suspicious set? Post the URL to X under #DRBadNGOs usting the button in the upper left. Questions/Suggestions/feedback? Verified can DM @twinforces.
We show NGOs and the money that flows between them. Money comes in from the left, goes out to the right. The NGOs are drawn with trapezoids so the left side is proporitional to the incoming grants while the right side is proportional to the grants going out to other NGOs, think of them like funnels. US Government is treated as the ultimate donor. You can select a preset to add known interesting NGOs. Money flows are scaled so large flows don't dwarf small ones, you can adjust scaling up or down with the buttons to the left of the zoom controls. Octogons (aka stop sign) are NGOs that don't have any outflows to other NGOs, presumably spend it all. Gray "plus" grift pimples hold hidden grants to keep the graph from being overwhelming. Click the pimples to see 3 more from that side, or click the NGO to see 3 more from both sides. Command/Windows click on a node to bring up a control panel with more controls and cross links.
In the control panel:
- Focus will remove all the other NGOs, Remove will remove just that NGO.
- 🐷 will show all nodes that trace from that node back to the US Government.
Hello and welcome. The page is now loading every organization that files an IRS form 990 or 990EZ, which means all non profits that aren't a church, or a state/local government, just over 727,000, to that we add nonprofits we have found based on donations, to bring the total to 913K.
For private foundations, which file a 990PF, donations are reverse mapped by address and name to a charity or country if going to a foreign address. Total: 1.3M grants.
In other words, there's a reason you're waiting. The NGO ecosystem is huge.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you you enjoy exploring the crazy world of NGOs. After the data downloads, you'll be able to choose from a list of starting points or presets. Follow @twinforces to see insights and previews of works in progress (WIP).
Don't worry, you'll only have to download the data once (or whenever we update the database). On subsequent reloads, it will load much faster (seconds instead of minutes).
Welcome back! This is loading from your local store, so it will only take a few seconds.
All code is open source, hosted at github. Data can be downlaoded from the Export Database link once complete.
