🚨 NGO / GOVERNMENT GRANT TRACKING TOOL 🚨
πŸ” FOLLOW THE GRANTS: CONNECT NGOs TO YOUR TAX DOLLARS πŸ’΅
Ever wonder exactly which government grants fund nonprofits? Now you can knowβ€”because I’ve cracked the code.

Unlike older tools that only sift through nonprofit 990s (which don’t directly show government dollars), I’ve mined the USASpending database to create fuzzy matches between nonprofits and their linked government grants.

All grants are active. All grants are ongoing.

Here’s what this tool can do:
βœ… Search by EIN, Keywords, UEI, or Recipient Name: Zero in on the nonprofit or grant you want to investigate.
βœ… View the Award ID & Funding Agency: See where the money came fromβ€”and how much.
βœ… Dollar Amounts Matched to EINs: Transparent numbers, no guesswork.
βœ… Location-Based Matching: Only UEIs and grants with address matches to nonprofits are included.

This means you can now trace your tax dollars with precisionβ€”from the grant to the nonprofit and back to the government agency funding it.

πŸ’‘ If you're an advocate, watchdog, or just curious about accountability, this tool will empower you to dig deeper than ever before.

Ready to see how government money flows? Try it now and uncover the truth.

⚠️ Heads-up: It’s data-heavy, but I made it as efficient as possible. Link below! πŸ‘‡Image

Go to and enter EIN 132574854 and add the "lutheran" keyword. You will see very interesting graph.joeisdone.github.io/expose/

Hey πŸ•@DOGE Looks like we've got some Canadian πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦spending to trim! Almost 2 billion of it, actually.

These six large Canadian (?) nonprofits brought in a total of $2,137,653,021 in contributions, with $1,770,132,574 (about 82.8%) coming from taxpayers.

β€’ (981651870) Toronto Metropolitan University (2022): $380,128,385 total; 97.13% taxpayer funded
β€’ (986001623) University of Western Ontario (2022): $548,429,888 total; 92.38% taxpayer funded
β€’ (981263645) University of Ontario Institute of (2022): $82,538,194 total; 84.91% taxpayer funded
β€’ (986001141) Governing Council of the University of Toronto (2022): $1,009,404,000 total; 79.46% taxpayer funded
β€’ (986001253) United Way of Greater Toronto (2023): $116,682,147 total; 18.58% taxpayer funded
β€’ (320615606) Downtown Ontario Improvement Association (2022): $470,407 total; 100.00% taxpayer funded
@DOGE Oh, how did I overlook Waterloo University?

EIN 980061413, gets $482,253,299 in government grants. That easily puts us over the top in 2 billion.
@DOGE What is our obsession with financing Canadian universities?

University of Saskatchewan, getting $469,794,681 of our money. EIN 237069575

🧡 Thread: Faith, Finances, and Taxpayer DollarsS

I cross-referenced the number of members in each denomination with the taxpayer dollars received by 501(c)(3)s that include the denomination name in their title.

Pentecostal: $0.01 tax dollars/member
Baptist: $6.27 tax dollars/member
Methodist: $12.00 tax dollars/member
Catholic: $29.88 tax dollars/member
Presbyterian: $59.58 tax dollars/member
Lutheran: $97.50 tax dollars/member

Seems like Lutherans are by and far the most popular with Uncle Sam! Here's the deep dive:
Pentecostals win the small government spending awardβ€”4.6% of the population (~15M). Despite their numbers, there are only 39 nonprofits with Pentecostal in their name.

Total taxpayer funding is a mere $134K, or less than 1 cent per Pentecostal!
πŸ”Ž Baptists represent 15.4% of the U.S. population (~51M people) and have 352 nonprofits under their banner. These organizations collectively receive $322M in taxpayer dollarsβ€”about $6.27 per Baptist.

🧡THREAD: Yes, things really are worse off for younger people. Here's the data.

The chart below is top-line BLS aggregates from 2019 to 2023. At first glance, the changes from 2019 to 2023 don't seem alarming. Income rose ~23%. Total expenditures? Also up ~23%. It all balances out, right? Not quite. Let’s dig deeper.Image
First and most obvious is the "inflation tax."

A single taxpayer in 2019 earning $82,852 owed 17% brackets and would have a post-tax earnings of $68,766.

That same taxpayer would have paid slightly more taxes at $101,805 percentage-wise in 2023, at 17.52%, taking home $83,972. That's $530 less after adjustments.

This does not take in account property taxes, state taxes, or other fees.
Now, we look at other sub-categories. "Housing costs" rose 23% on paper, but when we drill down to what's included in "costs," we find out that shelter costs (rent+mortgage) actually rose 27.2% on average, well outpacing our 23% base increase. So what made up the inflation difference?

Utilities and furniture.

Personally, I am skeptical that utilities and furniture purchases completely offset our increase in housing.Image

πŸš¨πŸ’° Where is your money going? πŸ’°πŸš¨

This thread shows how nonprofits receive millions in public funds. Some depend almost entirely on your tax dollars. And, out of fairness, I also included some right-wing groups - but as you might guess, they aren't nearly as impacted. I accommodated as many requests from the earlier EIN thread as possible.πŸ‘‡

Taken from the data I aggregated and posted at joeisdone.github.io/nonprofit - more user friendly edition coming soon.
There are 108 nonprofits with β€œrefugee” in their name, receiving a total of $989M in contributions. $577M comes directly from government grants, with $16M more in indirect funds. That’s $593M of taxpayer money. Some rely 100% on public funding when indirect and direct sources are added. 🀯
The Barack Obama Foundation raised $311M in one year. How much from taxpayers? $33K that I could trace.

I am considering a manual dive - maybe it's the new Clinton Foundation.πŸ‘€
