Use Cases by Industry

Built for the teams that need nonprofit data most

DAF Sponsors

Automated recipient verification for every outgoing grant.

Click to explore

Real-time Pub78 deductibility status, BMF classification, revocation monitoring, and charity benchmarking — all in one API. Incumbents like Candid charge $12,650+/yr by splitting this across Charity Check ($2,750) and Premier ($9,900) as separate products. We bundle everything into a single integration at a fraction of the cost.

Fintech & Donation Platforms

Sub-second EIN verification at the point of transaction.

Click to explore

Validate legal name, address, and tax-exempt status for one-click donation checkout flows. High-volume, low-latency endpoints built for payment integrations. Candid charges $7,550+/yr for Essentials + Charity Check — and one DAF startup publicly called them "prohibitively expensive." We offer the same data, same speed, transparent pricing.

Compliance, AML & RegTech

Screen officers and directors against PEP watchlists using Part VII data.

Click to explore

Map entity relationships via Schedule R for KYC/KYB due diligence. Continuous monitoring with OFAC SDN screening and auto-revocation alerts. Banks currently pay Candid $12,650+/yr for Premier + Charity Check — sold as separate contracts. We deliver the same officer data, entity mapping, and compliance screening in one unified API.

Wealth Management & Private Banking

Prospect foundations for OCIO, custody, and advisory services using real financial data.

Click to explore

Full Part X balance sheets with investment assets, Part IX service provider fees (management, legal, accounting), and Schedule J officer compensation — the exact data points private banks need to identify foundations ready for outsourced CIO services. Filter by asset size, investment income, and fee spend to build targeted prospect lists. Wealth managers currently pay Candid $9,900+/yr for Premier alone — plus $6,000 more if they want Grants data. We include balance sheets, fee breakdowns, compensation, and grant history in a single plan.

Data Aggregators & Analytics

Full 160-field financial detail across all filing years via API or bulk CSV.

Click to explore

Transaction enrichment — resolve opaque entity names to legal nonprofit names and NTEE categories. Normalized data ready for ML models. Candid charges $15,900+/yr for Premier + Grants (their full stack) and locks you into annual contracts. We offer the same 160+ fields, multi-year history, and entity resolution — month-to-month, no lock-in.

Corporate Giving & Workplace Platforms

Employee match verification — instantly confirm charity eligibility for corporate matching gift programs.

Click to explore

Batch validation for workplace giving portals. Organization profiles for employee-facing charity directories. CSR platforms currently pay Candid $7,550+/yr for Essentials + Charity Check and must display "Powered by Candid" branding. We offer the same verification and org data — white-label ready, no attribution required.

Property-Tax & PILOT Consultants

Schedule H, J, and R panels for nonprofit property-tax exemption cases and PILOT negotiations.

Click to explore

Defend or challenge nonprofit property-tax exemptions with multi-year Schedule H (hospital community benefit), Schedule J (officer compensation), and Schedule R (related-organization) panels going back to 2010. Built for the workflow behind hospital PILOT negotiations, municipal exemption challenges, and post-Morristown appeal cycles. Arbitrary EIN lists, Excel export for expert-witness reports, audit-grade source metadata. Incumbents charge $25K+/yr for custom extracts through sales theater — we deliver the same panels at half the price.
