The Problem with the Status Quo

Most nonprofits work around these challenges every day. Northstar Toolkit is built to solve them.

Fragmented Nonprofit Data

Information about nonprofits is scattered across IRS databases, state registries, and third-party sites. Getting a complete picture requires visiting multiple sources.

Today: Researchers check multiple IRS databases, nonprofit data sites, and state charity registries separately to piece together nonprofit information.

Hard to Assess Financial Health

A single year's 990 doesn't tell the full story. Understanding a nonprofit's trajectory requires multi-year financial analysis.

Today: Analysts download individual 990 PDFs and manually extract financial data into spreadsheets for comparison.

Research Disconnected from Action

Nonprofit research for funder identification, partnerships, or competitive analysis stays in separate files — disconnected from grant writing workflows.

Today: Research notes live in spreadsheets and documents that aren't linked to the organizations or grants they relate to.
