How frequently is the data updated?

New and updated grantmaker, company, and grant data appears weekly. New grantmaker-related news, job opportunities, RFPs, publications, and articles appear daily. Social media content is updated live with the most recent activity whenever the tab is opened or refreshed. New IRS Forms 990 and 990-PF are posted when they become available from the IRS.

How quickly are profiles for new foundations added?

Profiles for new foundations are typically added after a foundation files its initial IRS Form 990-PF with the IRS. Generally, Candid won't add a profile for a new foundation at any earlier stage because we've found that most organizations that file preliminary paperwork to become foundations ultimately fail to satisfy IRS private foundation requirements and organize as public charities instead. However, if a new foundation establishes a web presence, receives significant media coverage, or provides sufficient information about its activities in other ways, a profile might be added before its initial IRS Form 990-PF is filed with the IRS.
