Tip 1: Save time on nonprofit compliance
It is vital to understand if a nonprofit you are interested in working with is compliant and IRS-verified. Navigate to their compliance report on their profile to understand if they meet all state and federal requirements, including California AB 488.
Note: if you need to save compliance reports for record keeping, simply download the report. It will be timestamped with the date and time you accessed the document.

Tip 2: Analyze a nonprofit’s financial information for a complete picture of their work
Dig deeper into a nonprofit by evaluating their financials. This information will help you understand how your funding will be used by that organization. Take a look at their revenue, expenses, and assets over multiple years to evaluate any trends important to your giving.
