Candid Search

Candid Resources at CNE

Foundation Directory and GuideStar have evolved into Candid Search, bringing together trusted data and enhanced research tools. Now, nonprofit and funder data is available in one streamlined platform.

Finding Funding and Grants

• Explore grantmakers: Search millions of grant transactions and active grantmakers to identify funders aligned with your mission.
• AI-assisted tools: Leverage AI-powered tools to discover matched funders and draft letters of intent.
• Track prospects: Build custom dashboards and lists to monitor potential funders and benchmark your organization against peers.

Researching Organizations

• Look up nonprofits: Search by organization name, keyword, or EIN.
• Filter results: Narrow results by subject area, population served, geographic location, and leadership demographics.
• Access financial data: View detailed revenue and expense breakdowns, operational trends, and comprehensive financial information beyond standard IRS Form 990s.
