Frequently asked questions about Science & Technology nonprofits
Answers compiled from the IRS Form 990, BMF, Pub 78, and Auto-Revocation List.
- What counts as a Science & Technology nonprofit?
- Science & Technology nonprofits are US tax-exempt organisations classified under the IRS National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) major group "U" (Science & Technology). The IRS assigns the NTEE code based on the organisation's primary purpose as reported on Form 990.
- How are science & technology nonprofits regulated?
- Science & Technology nonprofits with annual gross receipts of $50,000 or more must file Form 990 (or 990-EZ) annually with the IRS. Smaller orgs file the 990-N e-Postcard. Failure to file for three consecutive years triggers automatic revocation of tax-exempt status.
- How can I verify a science & technology nonprofit's tax-exempt status before granting?
- Cross-reference the organisation against the IRS Auto-Revocation List AND IRS Publication 78. Pub 78 confirms whether donations are tax-deductible; the Auto-Revocation List confirms whether the org has lost its status for non-filing. Givalgo Discover surfaces both signals on every org profile.
- Where can I find Form 990 data for science & technology nonprofits?
- Each organisation's Form 990 — including financials, governance, programs, and grants — is publicly available from the IRS. Givalgo Discover aggregates the full corpus (Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, 990-N) and provides a free profile for every IRS-registered science & technology nonprofit.
- What's the difference between a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and 501(c)(6)?
- 501(c)(3) is the standard tax-exempt classification for public charities and private foundations; contributions are tax-deductible. 501(c)(4) covers civic-league / social-welfare orgs; contributions are not deductible. 501(c)(6) covers business leagues and chambers of commerce. The IRS subsection code on each Givalgo Discover profile identifies the exact classification.
