Building an Open Form 990 Data Clearinghouse

Last last summer, several organizations announced the formation of a collaboration to build a clearinghouse for IRS Form 990 data. Here is the start of the announcement:

Today, a partnership that includes GivingTuesday, the Aspen Institute’s Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation (PSI), Charity Navigator, CitizenAudit, and the Urban Institute announced that they have kicked off the building of a clearinghouse for raw, clean, and standardized US nonprofit tax data. This collaboration combines the efforts of nonprofits, scholars, charitable giving data platforms, and many others to more widely share essential information captured on the IRS Form 990.
