June, 2016

2. Overview
• Data Sources Used for Analysis
• County Level Summaries
• 501(c)(3) Summaries
• Foundation Summaries
• FAU Community Engagement
• Potential Opportunities for Nonprofits in PBC

3. IRS Data Source
• IRS Business Master File (BMF) from February
2016
The IRS Business Master Files (BMF) contain
descriptive information for all active organizations that
have registered for tax-exempt status with the IRS.
They include all registered and active organizations,
including public charities, private foundations and
501(c) and other exempt organizations, including social
welfare organizations, trade unions, and others.

4. IRS Data Source
• All records were downloaded from IRS BMF
https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-
Profits/Exempt-Organizations-Business-Master-
File-Extract-EO-BMF for the State of Florida
• Florida data were sorted by cities and collected
for those in Palm Beach County

5. IRS Data Caveats
• IRS records are based on the primary address of the
organization. There are many nonprofits who may
support activities in Palm Beach County without
having their address here. Additionally, nonprofits
whose primary address is in Palm Beach county may
support activities outside the county.
• Data are self-reported from 990’s with no editing or
verification by IRS
• Usual errors in data input
• “Churches” need not report any information and
therefore are under-reported

6. County Level Summaries
There were 4,460 nonprofits registered
with the IRS in Palm Beach County in
February, 2016.

501(c)(4) and (c)(6) who have special deductibility
status (e.g. veterans organizations)
