Search Indiana Nonprofit Database
Our comprehensive listing of Indiana nonprofits is now available again in a searchable format, thanks to the Indiana Business Research Center. To access the database, please go to http://www.stats.indiana.edu/topic/nonprofits.asp.
The database is currently being updated by the Indiana Business Research Center, based on a full update completed in 2005-06 using listings from (1) the Internal Revenue Service list of registered tax-exempt entities with Indiana reporting addresses, (2) the Indiana Secretary of State list of nonprofit incorporated entities, and (3) phone listings of religious congregations. However, despite our best efforts, we caution that the updated listing most likely includes some erroneous entries and that it is almost certainly incomplete. Please contact the Indiana Business Research Center (ibrc@iupui.edu) with corrections or additions to the database listing.
