OrgHunter

What OrgHunter does

OrgHunter is a charity data and donation infrastructure platform that aggregates, enriches, and exposes real-time information on U.S. and Canadian nonprofits to developers, technology platforms, businesses, and AI teams. The core offering is a curated database of 2.5M+ IRS-registered charities with 100+ data points per nonprofit (including EINs, NTEE classifications, eligibility flags, financial data, and geolocation), updated daily, exposed through the CharityAPI.com RESTful JSON API and an OrgHunter Dashboard for partners. OrgHunter's integrated grant-processing workflow combines its data layer with Make My Donation, Inc., a Florida 501(c)(3) donor-advised fund that issues tax-deductible receipts and distributes grants, and Stripe Connect, which handles payment rails. Through this stack the platform has processed 140,000+ grants to 9,500+ nonprofits on behalf of 1,500+ technology partners including Conscious Cart, isolved Payroll, and PointWorthy, plus 300+ funeral homes using memorial giving solutions.

The business model combines three revenue streams: subscription-based API licensing and access fees for the Charity API, transaction fees on grants processed through Make My Donation and Stripe Connect, and licensing of embeddable widgets and plugins. Pricing is quote-based with free API key registration and multi-year enterprise contracts. Customer segments span developers and app builders integrating charity search, fintech/SaaS/HR platforms embedding giving experiences, individual donors researching charities, charities claiming and managing their profiles, and AI/ML teams using the structured data for RAG pipelines and recommendation engines. Distribution is developer-first via CharityAPI.com, with secondary reach through embeddable widgets, the ChatGPT Charity Vetting GPT marketplace listing, and a partner/affiliate program managed by a small sales function.

The company operates as OrgHunter LLC, a private Florida LLC working in close operational alignment with Make My Donation, Inc., with both entities governed by Florida law. OrgHunter is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, 1-10 employees, and a Palm City, Florida headquarters. Strategic priorities visible in the data include AI-readiness positioning, geographic expansion into Canada, vertical deepening in funeral/memorial giving, and ecosystem expansion through technology partnerships rather than direct sales.
