Fundraising list, where to get for helping others & yourself?

Bob Umphred Good Morning, Question. EVERY Group needs $$$, Sports groups, Kids groups, Theater Groups, Animal shelters, etc. Are there are resources that people are available of that list non-profits and their contact info? Our product provides a unique fund raising opportunity for groups (and also individuals), and our challange now is to try to create that list, starting with The Colony area, and possibly neighboring towns. THANKS, Bob and Sharon Umphred. http://longhornmarketinggroup.weebly.com/Unlike · Reply · 1 · May 10 at 10:52am · Edited

Bob, Thank you for your great question regarding fundraising! Per normal of myself is to say stay focused and do what you love to do both in life, volunteering, and business.
The IRS use to do a publication 78 but now a days you can Download a complete of all the states or even just one into excel.

Exempt Organizations Business Master File Extract (EO BMF). I would then Download and sort to the state you are interested in!

If you ever have a question if someone has filed for 501c3 use this link. http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Exempt-Organizations-Select-Check

Another source would be: http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/np.asp

Another option but not as good is: http://www.guidestar.org/NonprofitDirectory.aspx

Then you can take that list and wipe it against the Texas search http://window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/exempt/exempt_search.html
