This address is a suite or unit (STE 800). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Through research, education and programming, the Data Foundation promotes evidence-informed policymaking and open data to improve society.

  • The Data Foundation advanced open data and evidence-informed policymaking through collaborations with federal agencies and public/private organizations. Hosted events such as the FDTA Forum, Virtual Research Symposium, and govDATAx 2025; convened private and non-profit organizations on priorities and research through the Data Coalition; advocated for effective open data policies across Executive Branch agencies and Congress; and published a guide on AI data policy, the 2024 Federal CDO Survey, and vital records reform research.

    Expenses $1,542,123 · Grants $5,000 · Revenue $121,638

  • The Data Foundation launched a new initiative, the Climate Data Collaborative, in September 2024. The CDC is designed to build consensus, encourage data sharing, and enable local decision-makers to make informed decisions about climate-related activities. Through this initiative, the organization hosts an open data asset with open access, neighborhood-level CO2 emissions data in the United States, and also collaborated with federal agencies such as NIST and NOAA, and academic institutions such as Stanford University and Duke University. Findings and research from this initiative were shared through public reports and resources, public events, and workshops.

    Expenses $468,405

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
