The ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer alternative

A nonprofit-health lens on 990 data — plain-read, with exec-comp benchmarking ProPublica doesn't.

ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer is free and far broader — it indexes roughly 1.8M nonprofits across every sector and year, and it is the authoritative place to pull a raw 990 PDF. 990Health is not trying to out-index it. We are a focused nonprofit-HEALTH lens: plain-read financials instead of PDF wrangling, a cross-org executive-compensation benchmarking explorer ProPublica does not offer, multi-org compare, and prospecting export. Free to search; Pro ($499) unlocks the analysis tools.

We're not for everyone

ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer is the better pick if you need:

  • It is completely free — no tier, no paywall, no account.
  • It covers ALL nonprofits (~1.8M), not just health — every sector and category.
  • It is the authoritative, established broad index people already trust.
  • It serves raw filing PDFs straight from the IRS for any organization.
  • Its historical depth spans every available filing year across the whole sector.

Bottom line: 990Health for a focused nonprofit-HEALTH view with plain-read financials, an exec-comp benchmarking explorer, multi-org compare, and prospecting export; ProPublica when you need the free, exhaustive all-sectors index.
