# Form 990 XML Data (GivingTuesday Data Lake)
Extract detailed financial data from IRS Form 990 XML filings using [GivingTuesday's 990 Data Infrastructure](https://990data.givingtuesday.org/).
## π― Overview
**Current data:** IRS EO-BMF CSV files (basic info - name, EIN, address, NTEE code)
**Enhancement:** Form 990 XML filings from GivingTuesday Data Lake (detailed financials - revenue, expenses, programs, grants)
### What is the GivingTuesday 990 Data Lake?
The [990 Data Infrastructure](https://990data.givingtuesday.org/) is a collaborative data lake of clean, standardized 990 data in XML format maintained by GivingTuesday. This is the rawest form of 990 data in GivingTuesday's infrastructure.
**Data Lake Structure:**
- **Bucket**: `gt990datalake-rawdata` (AWS S3, us-east-1 Virginia)
- **Access**: Public, no AWS credentials required (`--no-sign-request`)
- **E-filed 990s**: `EfileData/XmlFiles/` (individual XML returns)
- **Indices**: `Indices/990xmls/` (CSV files listing all available 990s)
**Console Access**: [https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/gt990datalake-rawdata](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/gt990datalake-rawdata)
### What's the Difference?
| Data Source | Type | Records | Data Richness | Access Method | Best For |
|-------------|------|---------|---------------|---------------|----------|
| **EO-BMF CSV** β
Currently using | Basic registry | 1.9M+ | β Low | Direct download | Initial org list |
| **Google BigQuery** β‘ Recommended | SQL queries | 5M+ | βββββ High | SQL (serverless) | **Bulk mission/website extraction** |
| **GivingTuesday Data Lake** π Advanced | XML files | 5.4M+ | βββββ Very High | S3 download | Detailed parsing, custom fields |
## π What Additional Data You Can Get
### From Form 990 XML:
- **Financials**: Total revenue, program revenue, contributions, grants, investment income
- **Expenses**: Total expenses, program expenses, administrative, fundraising
- **Assets**: Total assets, liabilities, net assets
- **Programs**: Program service descriptions, accomplishments, expenses per program
- **Governance**: Board members, officer compensation, key employees
- **Grants**: Grants awarded, grant recipients
- **Mission**: Detailed mission statement and program descriptions
- **Activities**: Legislative activities, political expenditures, lobbying
**Example:** Instead of just knowing "Alabama Oral Health Foundation exists," you get:
- Revenue: $2.5M
- Program expenses: $1.8M
- Grants awarded: $500K to 10 community health centers
- Mission: "Improve oral health access in underserved communities"
- Officers: CEO Sarah Johnson ($150K salary)
- Website: https://alabamaoralhealth.org
---
## β‘ Google BigQuery (Recommended for Bulk Queries)
**Fastest way to enrich 1M+ organizations with missions and websites!**
### Why BigQuery?
Google Cloud hosts the complete IRS 990 dataset in BigQuery - a serverless SQL database that lets you query **5 million Form 990s in seconds** without downloading any files.
**Key advantages:**
- β
**No downloads**: Query directly in the cloud
- β
**Blazing fast**: Bulk queries complete in <30 seconds
- β
**Free tier**: First 1 TB/month is free (enough for most research)
- β
**SQL interface**: Easy to extract specific fields
- β
**No infrastructure**: Serverless, nothing to manage
**Cost:** Form 990 text fields are small - you can query **all 1.9M nonprofits for ~$0** using the free tier.
### Quick Start
**1. Set up Google Cloud (one-time)**
```bash
# Install Google Cloud SDK
# Visit: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install
# Authenticate
gcloud auth login
# Set project
gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID
```
**2. Extract mission statements & websites for all Alabama health orgs**
```sql
-- Query in BigQuery Console or via bq CLI
SELECT
ein,
organization_name,
website_address_txt AS website,
activity_or_mission_desc AS mission,
total_revenue_current_year AS revenue,
total_expenses_current_year AS expenses,
tax_period
FROM `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_2023`
WHERE state = 'AL'
AND ntee_code LIKE 'E%'
AND activity_or_mission_desc IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY total_revenue_current_year DESC
LIMIT 10000;
```
**3. Run query from Python**
```python
from google.cloud import bigquery
import pandas as pd
# Initialize BigQuery client
client = bigquery.Client()
# Query for Alabama + Michigan health nonprofits with missions
query = """
SELECT
ein,
organization_name,
website_address_txt AS website,
activity_or_mission_desc AS mission,
total_revenue_current_year AS revenue,
total_expenses_current_year AS expenses,
total_assets_eoy AS assets,
state,
tax_period
FROM `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_2023`
WHERE state IN ('AL', 'MI')
AND ntee_code LIKE 'E%'
AND total_revenue_current_year > 0
AND activity_or_mission_desc IS NOT NULL
"""
# Execute query and load to DataFrame
df = client.query(query).to_dataframe()
print(f"Retrieved {len(df):,} organizations with missions")
# Clean XML tags from mission text
import re
df['mission_clean'] = df['mission'].str.replace(r'<[^>]+>', '', regex=True).str.strip()
# Save locally
df.to_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_990_bigquery.parquet')
```
**4. Merge with existing nonprofit data**
```python
import pandas as pd
# Load your existing nonprofit data (from IRS EO-BMF)
orgs = pd.read_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_organizations.parquet')
print(f"Existing orgs: {len(orgs):,}")
# Load BigQuery results with missions & websites
bq_data = pd.read_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_990_bigquery.parquet')
print(f"BigQuery results: {len(bq_data):,}")
# Merge on EIN
enriched = orgs.merge(
bq_data[['ein', 'mission_clean', 'website', 'revenue', 'expenses', 'assets']],
on='ein',
how='left',
suffixes=('', '_990')
)
# Fill missing data from 990 fields
if 'mission' not in enriched.columns:
enriched['mission'] = enriched['mission_clean']
if 'website' not in enriched.columns:
enriched['website'] = enriched['website_990']
# Show enrichment stats
missions_added = enriched['mission'].notna().sum()
websites_added = enriched['website'].notna().sum()
print(f"β
Missions: {missions_added:,} ({100*missions_added/len(enriched):.1f}%)")
print(f"β
Websites: {websites_added:,} ({100*websites_added/len(enriched):.1f}%)")
# Save enriched dataset
enriched.to_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_enriched_bigquery.parquet')
print(f"πΎ Saved {len(enriched):,} enriched organizations")
```
**Expected results:**
- 30-50% of orgs will have missions (larger orgs file Form 990)
- 20-40% will have websites listed
- 100% will have EIN matching for revenue/expense data
### BigQuery Table Structure
The IRS 990 dataset is organized into **multiple tables** matching Form 990 schedules:
#### Master Index Table
**`bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_index`**

|------------|------------|------------|-------|
| **Organization Name** | `irs_990_index` | `organization_name` | Master list |
| **EIN** (Primary Key) | All tables | `ein` | 9-digit ID |
| **Mission (990-EZ)** | `irs_990_ez_YYYY` | `mission_description` | Smaller orgs |
| **Mission (Full 990)** | `irs_990_YYYY` | `activity_or_mission_desc` | Larger orgs |

### Query Examples for All Key Fields
**Extract mission, website, AND revenue from both 990 and 990-EZ:**
```sql
-- Combine Full 990 and 990-EZ for complete coverage
WITH full_990 AS (
SELECT
ein,
activity_or_mission_desc AS mission,
website_address_txt AS website,
total_revenue_current_year AS revenue,
total_expenses_current_year AS expenses,
'990' AS form_type
FROM `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_2023`
WHERE state IN ('AL', 'MI')
AND activity_or_mission_desc IS NOT NULL
),
ez_990 AS (
SELECT
ein,
mission_description AS mission,
website_address_txt AS website,
total_revenue AS revenue,
total_expenses AS expenses,
'990-EZ' AS form_type
FROM `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_ez_2023`
WHERE state IN ('AL', 'MI')
AND mission_description IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT * FROM full_990
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM ez_990
ORDER BY revenue DESC;
```
**Add executive compensation:**
```sql
-- Get mission + CEO salary
SELECT
f.ein,
f.activity_or_mission_desc AS mission,
f.website_address_txt AS website,
f.total_revenue_current_year AS revenue,
j.compensation_amount AS ceo_compensation
FROM `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_2023` f
LEFT JOIN `bigquery-public-data.irs_990.irs_990_schedule_j_2023` j
ON f.ein = j.ein
WHERE f.state = 'AL'
AND j.title_txt LIKE '%CEO%' OR j.title_txt LIKE '%President%'
ORDER BY revenue DESC
LIMIT 100;
```
### Data Cleaning Tips
**The catch:** Some fields have messy XML tags embedded (like `<MissionDesc>`). Clean with regex:
```python
import re
import pandas as pd
# Clean XML tags from missions
df['mission_clean'] = df['mission'].str.replace(r'<[^>]+>', '', regex=True)
# Trim whitespace
df['mission_clean'] = df['mission_clean'].str.strip()
# Remove common artifacts
df['mission_clean'] = df['mission_clean'].str.replace(r'\s+', ' ', regex=True)
```
### Cost Estimation
**Free tier:** 1 TB of queries per month (resets monthly)
**Typical query costs:**
- Extract missions for 1M orgs: **~50 GB scanned = FREE**
- Extract all fields for 1M orgs: **~200 GB scanned = FREE**
- Full table scan of all years: **~2 TB = $10** (one-time cost)
**Tip:** Use `WHERE` clauses to filter by state/NTEE to reduce data scanned.

2. Log in to AWS Console
3. Open the data lake: [https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/gt990datalake-rawdata/?region=us-east-1&tab=objects](https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/gt990datalake-rawdata/?region=us-east-1&tab=objects)
### Option 2: Via Command Line (Recommended for Automation)
**Prerequisites**: Install [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/)
```bash
# List main bucket contents
aws s3 ls gt990datalake-rawdata --no-sign-request
# List indices (CSV files listing all 990s)
aws s3 ls gt990datalake-rawdata/Indices/990xmls/ --no-sign-request
# Download the latest index
aws s3 cp \
s3://gt990datalake-rawdata/Indices/990xmls/index_all_years_efiledata_xmls_created_on_2023-10-29.csv \
data/cache/form990_index.csv \
--no-sign-request
# Download a specific 990 XML
aws s3 cp \
s3://gt990datalake-rawdata/EfileData/XmlFiles/[OBJECT_ID]_public.xml \
data/cache/form_990_xml/ \
--no-sign-request
```
### Option 3: Automated Python Integration
Use our enrichment script that automates downloading and parsing:
```python
import boto3
from botocore import UNSIGNED
from botocore.config import Config
import pandas as pd
# Configure S3 client for GivingTuesday Data Lake (no credentials needed)
s3 = boto3.client(
's3',
region_name='us-east-1',
config=Config(signature_version=UNSIGNED)
)
# Download index to find available 990s
index_response = s3.get_object(
Bucket='gt990datalake-rawdata',
Key='Indices/990xmls/index_all_years_efiledata_xmls_created_on_2023-10-29.csv'
)
index_df = pd.read_csv(index_response['Body'])
print(f"Available 990s: {len(index_df):,}")
print(f"Columns: {index_df.columns.tolist()}")
# Find 990s for a specific EIN
ein = "123456789"
org_filings = index_df[index_df['EIN'] == ein]
# Download latest filing
if len(org_filings) > 0:
latest = org_filings.iloc[0]
xml_key = f"EfileData/XmlFiles/{latest['OBJECT_ID']}_public.xml"
xml_obj = s3.get_object(Bucket='gt990datalake-rawdata', Key=xml_key)
xml_content = xml_obj['Body'].read()
# Parse with xmltodict (simplified approach)
import xmltodict
doc = xmltodict.parse(xml_content)
# Extract fields from doc['Return']['ReturnData']['IRS990']
```
## π€ Automated Enrichment Script
We provide **[scripts/enrich_nonprofits_gt990.py](../../scripts/enrich_nonprofits_gt990.py)** - a complete automated solution.
### Quick Start

## π Integration with Current Data
### Enrich Existing Nonprofits
```python
import pandas as pd
from form990_parser import Form990Parser
import boto3
# Load your current nonprofit data
orgs = pd.read_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_organizations.parquet')
# Filter to Alabama health organizations (NTEE code E)
health_orgs = orgs[
(orgs['state'] == 'AL') &
(orgs['ntee_code'].str.startswith('E', na=False))
]
print(f"Alabama health nonprofits: {len(health_orgs):,}")
# Enrich with Form 990 data
s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='us-east-1')
parser = Form990Parser()
enriched = []
for idx, org in health_orgs.iterrows():
ein = org['ein']
# Try to find most recent 990
try:
# Construct likely S3 key (simplified - actual naming varies)
key = f"{ein}_202312_990.xml"
xml_obj = s3.get_object(Bucket='irs-form-990', Key=key)
xml_content = xml_obj['Body'].read()
filing_data = parser.parse_xml(xml_content)
# Merge with org data
org_enriched = org.to_dict()
org_enriched.update(filing_data)
enriched.append(org_enriched)
except Exception as e:
# No 990 found for this org
continue
enriched_df = pd.DataFrame(enriched)
enriched_df.to_parquet('data/gold/nonprofits_alabama_health_990.parquet')
print(f"Enriched {len(enriched_df):,} organizations with Form 990 data")
```

## π Performance Considerations
### Data Volume
- **Form 990 XMLs**: ~300,000 new filings per year
- **Average XML size**: 500KB - 5MB
- **Total storage**: ~500GB for all historical 990s (2011-present)
### Processing Speed
**Sequential (current approach):**
- Download + parse: ~2-5 seconds per 990
- 300,000 filings Γ 3 sec = **250 hours** π±
**Async parallel (recommended):**
- 50 concurrent workers
- 300,000 filings Γ 3 sec / 50 = **5 hours** β‘
### Smart Strategies
1. **Filter first**: Only download 990s for organizations you care about
```python
# Only health orgs in your states
health_eins = orgs[
(orgs['state'].isin(['AL', 'MI'])) &
(orgs['ntee_code'].str.startswith('E'))
]['ein'].tolist()
# Result: ~50,000 instead of 300,000 = 1 hour
```
2. **Use index files**: Download the index first, filter, then fetch XMLs
```python
# Get index
index = pd.read_json('https://s3.amazonaws.com/irs-form-990/index_2023.json')
# Filter to your EINs
relevant = index[index['EIN'].isin(health_eins)]
# Only download these
for url in relevant['URL']:
# download and parse
```
3. **Cache aggressively**: 990s don't change after filing
```python
cache_dir = Path('data/cache/form_990_xml')
cache_file = cache_dir / f"{ein}_{tax_year}.parquet"
if cache_file.exists():
return pd.read_parquet(cache_file)
else:
# download, parse, cache
```
## π― Use Cases
### 1. Financial Health Analysis
```python
# Which nonprofits are most financially stable?
df['efficiency_ratio'] = df['program_expenses'] / df['total_expenses']
df['reserve_months'] = df['net_assets'] / (df['total_expenses'] / 12)
efficient = df[df['efficiency_ratio'] > 0.75] # >75% on programs
print(f"Efficient organizations: {len(efficient):,}")
```
### 2. Grant Research
```python
# Who's giving grants in oral health?
grantmakers = df[
(df['grants_paid'] > 0) &
(df['ntee_code'].str.startswith('E'))
]
print(f"Oral health grantmakers: {len(grantmakers):,}")
print(f"Total grants: ${grantmakers['grants_paid'].sum():,.0f}")
```
### 3. Program Discovery
```python
# Find organizations running specific programs
fluoride_programs = df[
df['program_service_descriptions'].str.contains('fluoride', case=False, na=False)
]
print(f"Orgs with fluoride programs: {len(fluoride_programs):,}")
```
## π Next Steps
### Quick Test
```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install form-990-xml-parser boto3
# Test with single organization
python -c "
from form990_parser import Form990Parser
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='us-east-1')
ein = '631307851' # Delta Dental of Alabama (example)
try:
# Try to fetch 2023 filing
key = f'{ein}_202312_990.xml'
obj = s3.get_object(Bucket='irs-form-990', Key=key)
parser = Form990Parser()
data = parser.parse_xml(obj['Body'].read())
print(f'Organization: {data.get(\"organization_name\")}')
print(f'Revenue: \${data.get(\"total_revenue\", 0):,.0f}')
print(f'Assets: \${data.get(\"total_assets\", 0):,.0f}')
except Exception as e:
print(f'Error: {e}')
"
```
### Full Integration
Create a new enrichment pipeline:
```bash
# Create new script
python scripts/enrich_nonprofits_form990.py \
--input data/gold/nonprofits_organizations.parquet \
--output data/gold/nonprofits_organizations_990.parquet \
--states AL MI \
--ntee E \
--concurrent 50
```

## β FAQ
### Q: Are we currently downloading XML?
**A: No.** Currently using EO-BMF CSV files (basic data). Form 990 XML would be an enhancement for detailed financials.
### Q: Can we use Giving Tuesday libraries?
**A: Yes!** They're open source and designed exactly for this purpose. Would provide much richer data.
### Q: How much data is it?
**A:**
- All 990s (2011-present): ~500GB
- Alabama only: ~5GB
- Alabama health orgs: ~500MB
- Very manageable!
### Q: What's the license?
**A:** Public domain (U.S. Government data) + Giving Tuesday tools are open source
### Q: Integration effort?
**A:** Low - can reuse existing async enrichment patterns. Estimated: 1-2 days for initial integration.
