Charity and Non-Profit Data: UK Charity Commission and IRS EO Data

Why Charity and Non-Profit Data Matters for B2B

The charity and non-profit sector is often overlooked in B2B prospecting. The UK charity sector has a combined income of over £80 billion per year. US non-profits hold over $6 trillion in assets. These organisations buy software, IT services, HR tools, insurance, legal advice, and virtually every other B2B product category.

UK Charity Commission Data

The Charity Commission for England and Wales maintains the register of approximately 170,000 charities. Key data fields: charity name, registration number, charity type and classification, registration date, income and expenditure (from filed accounts), number of trustees, number of employees, activities description, registered office address, and website. The income and expenditure data is particularly powerful — it lets you filter charities by size.

IRS Exempt Organisations Data (US)

The IRS maintains the database of all US tax-exempt organisations — over 1.7 million 501(c)(3) charities and other exempt entity types. For deeper financial data, IRS Form 990 filings are publicly available through EDGAR and contain detailed financial statements, executive compensation, and program descriptions.

Use Cases for Non-Profit Data

Non-profit technology providers, payroll and HR services, insurance brokers, fundraising consultants, and governance and compliance consultants all use this data. The most effective filters are income range, geographic area, cause area, and organisation age.
