Where Candid is ahead
- 1.9 million organisation profiles with funding history, financials and staff contacts — a depth of foundation and nonprofit research this site does not attempt.
- Compliance data (IRS BMF, Pub78, Automatic Revocations, OFAC and more) verified daily across 6 federal and state sources, for donors screening a nonprofit before giving.
- An AI fundraising assistant that turns a plain-language question into a funder shortlist and a drafted letter of inquiry.
Where we are ahead
- Free eligibility checking on the full dataset — Candid's own Free plan caps search results and profile views before the $219/month tier.
- Company grants and household benefits together, in plain eligibility terms; Candid is nonprofit-and-foundation research, not a personal or company eligibility check.
- No monthly download cap — Candid's Premium plan stops at 250–1,000 grant records exported a month.
