Template:ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer

"ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer". Internal Revenue Service filings. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This external link template generates an external link from the "External links" section of a Wikipedia article of a US tax-exempt organization to the Internal Revenue Service Form 990s ("Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax"), as archived in the Nonprofit Explorer project of ProPublica.

Options

If the article is linked to a Wikidata entity with IRS Employer Identification Number (P1297), you can use the template alone:

* {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer}}

If Wikidata does not have the EIN, it should be entered into the first parameter as a nine-digit number with no dashes:

* {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|EIN}}

The second positional parameter is the link anchor text, and defaults to official name (P1448) or the article title:

* {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|EIN|Nonprofit name}}

Note that these example usages show a leading asterisk "*" for a bulleted list since this template is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.

Detailed instructions

1. Copy and paste one of the two options above into the article.
2. Go to the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and search for and find the target organization (say, American National Red Cross).
3. You then reach the page with a URL of the form https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/530196605
4. Copy only the trailing number from the URL (here, "530196605"); this is the EIN, nine digits, without dashes.
5. Replace "EIN" in the template code with the number.
   1. For the first option above, you'll then have:

      * {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|530196605}}

      resulting in:

      • "ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer". Internal Revenue Service filings. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

      Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page "American National Red Cross", use the second option:

   2. For the second option above, replace "EIN" with the number and "NonprofitName" with "American National Red Cross", you'll then have:

      * {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|530196605|American National Red Cross}}

      resulting in:

      • "American National Red Cross". Internal Revenue Service filings. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.
