If you do not know the EIN, you do not need to enter it, and can use other data to narrow your search.
Instead of running a search, you can download the entire list of tax-exempt organizations in a zip file through the following link: https://apps. irs. gov/pub/epostcard/data-download-pub78. zip.
GuideStar recognizes nine categories of nonprofit types, each with several subcategories. Try searching for the list of nonprofits you desire under multiple headings. For instance, if you’re looking for nonprofits which celebrate Asian-American history and contributions, you might look under Public, Societal Benefit > Civil Rights and Liberties for a nonprofit which meets your criteria, but you could also look under Arts, Culture and Humanities > Humanities and Historical Societies for a relevant nonprofit.
Check for a specific section in the directory that may list government agencies and nonprofit groups. Sometimes, they are listed in the yellow pages or in the middle of the book, in blue or grey pages. Nonprofits might also be in the white pages, listed in all capital letters and/or boldface type. Look for nonprofits listed in your community.
