Nonprofit data is broken.
We fixed it.
Every charity search tool in America runs on the same stale foundation — IRS tax filings that are 1–3 years old by the time you see them.
Built on tax filings
- Data 1–3 years old
- 990 forms only
- No operational data
- Keyword matching
- Can't verify capacity
- Paywalled or ad-supported
Built on real data
- 550K+ websites analyzed for live data
- Current programs & leadership
- Verified operational capacity
- AI that understands intent
- Real distribution intelligence
- Free. No paywall.
The questions that matter — is it still operating? Can it handle a truckload of goods? Does it actually serve the community it claims to? — no one was answering them.
So we built searchcharities.org.
Real data. Not just forms.
AI That Understands You
Other search tools match keywords. Ours matches intent. Ask for "charities helping homeless veterans in Phoenix" and MissionMatch™ returns organizations with verified capacity in that exact mission and geography — ranked by relevance, not alphabetical order.
550K+ Charity Websites. Deep AI Research.
We didn't wait for charities to fill out forms. We built an AI research pipeline that analyzed 550,000+ nonprofit websites — extracting programs, leadership, service areas, capacity, and impact data in real time. It's the largest nonprofit data acquisition project ever undertaken. And it never stops running.

Built by the People Who Move the Goods
searchcharities.org isn't built by a research lab. It's built by Simpli — the platform brands use to donate excess inventory at scale. Our data comes from real operational relationships with charities in all 50 states. We know who can receive, store, and distribute — because we work with them every day.
Whether you're giving $50 or 50,000 units.
