Charities, Nonprofits & Fundraisers
Charities search tool
Search Charities Bureau data to:
- check whether a charity is registered with OAG and read its annual financial reports
- find OAG-approved transactions — for example, to see if a charity has sold or transferred property
- search the Pennies for Charity database to find the amount charities raised in fundraiser campaigns and how much went to fundraisers
Financial reports that a charity has submitted in the last five years are available in the registry once they have been reviewed. If you need older reports, please submit a FOIL request.
