Hello!
This code does three things:
- Identifies particular Nonprofit Organization (NPO) 990s you want to analyze
- Creates datasets of 990 information from 990 XML data for the NPOs you care about
- Cleans 990 data.
The code is available for anyone but is particularly useful for:
- NPOs
- Curious citizens
- Academic researchers
- Professionals who work with NPOs regularly
The code is broken down into various elements and explained at length, but if you have questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me!: abduelwahabhussein@gmail.com
Note: The IRS used to store Form 990 files in AWS. There are github repositories that allow you to work with Form 990 data under AWS (See https://github.com/CharityNavigator/irs990 for instance). HOWEVER, since the IRS does not use AWS anymore, and the IRS stores the data differently now, I created hte github repo to make it easy to work with Form 990 data.
