Nonprofit Mission and Activity Research

An AI-powered research tool that helps nonprofit leaders, funders, and program officers find organizations doing similar work — anywhere in the country. Type a mission statement, a program description, or an issue area, and the tool searches across hundreds of thousands of IRS 990 filings to surface peer organizations that share your purpose and your methods. In seconds you get two ranked lists — organizations with similar missions and organizations running similar programs — along with a geographic map showing where this work is concentrated, a semantic similarity chart revealing how organizations cluster by theme, and an AI-generated insight report that identifies what everyone in the space is doing, what stands out as innovative or unusual, and which specific organizations are your highest-priority contacts for a first conversation.

This is peer intelligence that used to take weeks of manual research. Whether you are a new executive director trying to understand your field, a program officer benchmarking grantees, or a development director looking for collaboration and co-funding partners, this tool surfaces connections that would otherwise require expensive consultants or hours of database searching. Every result links directly to the organization's profile — their full mission statement, reported programs, location, and website — so a cold outreach email is one click away. The built-in AI assistant can draft that email for you, answer questions about what specific organizations do, and help you think through who to call first and what to ask. Nonprofit networks are built on relationships, and relationships start with knowing who else is out there doing the work you care about.
