Where the facts come from: Every fact about an organization (tax-exempt status, whether donations are tax-deductible, VA recognition) comes from a government record—IRS or VA—and links to it. Program descriptions are verbatim quotes from each organization's website, labeled "In their own words."
No affiliate links or paid placement: We don't get paid when you visit a nonprofit's website or make a donation. This is a free public service.
