🚨 NEW TOOL: PRINCIPAL OFFICER SEARCH & USAID TRACKING 🚨
🔎 FOLLOW THE LEADERS. TRACE THE MONEY. 💰
I’ve built a powerful tool to help you track nonprofit leadership and follow USAID grant flows with ease.

Here’s what you can do:
✅ Search by Principal Officer – Find nonprofits connected to a specific name.
✅ EIN & Nonprofit Name Lookup – Quickly locate organizations by tax ID or name.
✅ Expand Your View – See all principal officers linked to an EIN in one place.
✅ Follow the USAID Money Trail – Instantly trace how USAID grant dollars flow from the following NGOs:
🔹 National Endowment for Democracy
🔹 Freedom House
🔹 Global Communities
🔹 Internews Network
🔹 Consortium for Elections
🔹 PACT Inc
🔹 Institute of International Education
🔹 East-West Management Institute
🔹 Church World Service Inc.

💡 Whether you're uncovering connections, investigating foreign funding, or demanding transparency, this tool puts the data at your fingertips.
⚠️ Data-heavy! Best viewed on desktop.

The data comes from IRS Form 990s and is aggregated for analysis. Here's how to read and understand the numbers:

🔹 Gross Receipts → Pulled from Page 1, Box G of IRS Form 990.
🔹 Contributions → Pulled from Part VIII, Line 1f of IRS Form 990.
🔹 Taxpayer Funds → Pulled from Part VIII, Line 1e ("Government Grants").
🔹 Individual Grants → Pulled from Schedule I of IRS Form 990.

Only a curated subset of larger nonprofits is included, so the "Grants Given" totals may not match exactly with Schedule I. Instead, they add up to the total grants in the dataset I compiled for each EIN.

I use the most recent available tax years for these graphs. For example, Freedom House doesn’t have a public 2023 Form 990 yet, so the data includes a mix of 2021, 2022, and 2023 filings, depending on what’s available.Image
CSS is a little funky - @watilo will fix it when he's available.
@watilo And also @watilo will add back in the graph download button. He had a dental emergency.
@watilo I'll try to add hyperlinks to the Schedule I from Propublica for easier citing. The grants are all real.

Updates will be rare. I have to manually download 150GB with a bad Internet connection.
We've used both Google Fiber and Comcast Xfinity, each with different routers, but both have had issues. This wasn't a problem in our old neighborhood, so I suspect our current high altitude might be a factor. The connection always cuts out when it snows.
Ok, I see so many offers for Starlink, but is it all that fast?

👀 A wild tip from @DogeWatchReport...

The International Republican Institute (IRI)—a Republican-aligned NGO—has some big names on its board, including @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenJoniErnst, @SenTomCotton, @SenDanSullivan, and more.

Their latest report shows:
💰 Gov Funding: $130.7M (IRS Form 990)
📜 Active Grants: $9.2M
🔎 EIN: 521340267 | UEI: V2DWM1KMJNK5

Now here’s the kicker: Their own audit lists migration-related NGOs like the International Organization for Migration & Pan American Development Foundation.
Why? What’s the connection? 👇 Receipts linked below.Image

@DogeWatchReport @LindseyGrahamSC @SenJoniErnst @SenTomCotton @SenDanSullivan Just to clarify—I don’t know why @SenJoniErnst is on the list. But even good people can get swept up in the status quo.

The real test is what she chooses to do next. Actions, not words. Image

🎶✨ Oh look, it's our adorable little NGO puppets, dancing to the fedgov tune! 🎭💃 ✨🎶 Image
🎶✨ "Each with their own VIP lineup of well-heeled, well-connected principal officers—because who doesn’t love a little nepotistic flair? 🎭💼✨" 🎶
🎶✨ Wouldn't it be just awful if they were all, you know... searchable? 🔍😏 ✨🎶

I know exactly what I’m building tomorrow, and it’s going to be my most controversial yet.

No turning back now.
Told my husband my idea - and his eyes boggled.

I'm starting by precomputing the shortest path of every single EIN to National Endowment for Democracy.

hmm wonder what will turn up

find . -name "*.xml" | xargs grep -i "power" | grep -i "samantha"
First result (it'll take 10 minutes to run): FRIENDS OF THE CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY INC, Board member, EIN 352511040.
Got tired of waiting for the grep to finish, so I asked ChatGPT. She got honored with an award from Refugees International (EIN 521224516) .

One recipient, CONSORTIUM FOR ELECTIONS & POLITICAL PROCESS STRENGTHENING, is the recipient of 48 active grants worth $528 million, all awarded from USAID and going to various nations. ಠ_ಠ

Going to do a deep dive. 🧵👇 Image
Let's begin with a few preliminary links.

Link here: datarepublican.com/award_search/?… .

Their website: cepps.org
Per ChatGPT, they operate as a 501(c)(3) 521943638 which does show up in my award search.

They are also operating as a partnership with International Republican Institute (521340267), International Foundation for Electoral Systems (521527835), National Democratic Institute (521338892).

CEPP shares the same office building as International Republican Institute. It is unknown if the other EINs listed are related to them.Image
