Charity Navigator's API
Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator, is your source for reliable charity data. We have information on nearly 6,000 of the largest charities in America. This group of public charities receives approximately half of all private contributions made in the USA each year (not including houses of worship). Our API provides developers access to our high-quality, comprehensive charity data which can be easily integrated into your application or website.
Feature Charity Navigator’s data on your site
At Charity Navigator we believe that people are amazingly generous and derive great satisfaction from helping others, but are not always sure how to help. So we built an objective rating system that assists givers from every state, and with every type of charitable interest, in finding a charity to support. Our API provides the largest dataset on the Financial Health and Accountability & Transparency of US registered public charities providing services in every cause area both domestically and internationally.
The Charity Navigator API allows you to add valuable and trusted information to your application. Via the API you can:
- Search by keyword(s) and other criteria
- Browse by cause areas
- Browse by countries served
- Browse Top Ten Lists and Hot Topics
- Display detailed ratings and metrics for individual charities
Integrate the Charity Navigator API into your web application today so your site visitors can find a Charity Navigator rated charity.
