Smarter data, greater impact, right inside your AI workflow. Impala's connector gives you instant organization and funder intel on any U.S. nonprofit or foundation, drawn live from a database of 2M+ nonprofits, 250K+ grantmakers, and 25M+ grants built from verified registries, government databases, and direct partnerships.
Built for the teams that power philanthropy: grants management, programs, development, funder networks, and advisors. Ask it to:
- Research any nonprofit or foundation: mission, programs, leadership, board, and how to apply
- Check financial health with Form 990 income statements, balance sheets, key ratios, and multi-year trends
- Verify an organization's 501(c)(3) tax-exempt standing
- Map who funds whom: a nonprofit's institutional funders, a foundation's grantees, and grant histories
- Understand a funder's giving profile by cause area and geography, or spot funder overlap across organizations
- Discover new nonprofits and funders by cause, geography, type, and size
Every answer is source-attributed and links back to the full record on Impala so you can verify the underlying data. All tools are read-only. Connecting creates a free Impala account; some tools may require a premium Impala subscription.
