SmartSimple’s Grants and Research Data Sources

By -
As an integral part of our GMS360° and RMS360° platforms, we provide our grants and research funding clients with access to third party government data. This data confirms or denies their status as a charity, non-profit, or educational institution. Additionally, this data can verify whether or not they appear on any watch lists.

This vital information is gathered from the following sources:

OFAC 
The Office of Foreign Asset Control acts as a watch list. Any organizations or individuals included on this list are prohibited from receiving any funding. This list is updated on a monthly basis.

IRS 
The IRS maintains two databases: Pub78 and the Business Master File.

Pub78 contains all non-revoked non-profit organizations that are required to report to the IRS. Organization types that may be eligible for grants and donations, but are not present on this database, can be found here.

The Business Master File contains all exempt organizations. Both databases are updated on a monthly basis.

CRA 
SmartSimple draws monthly data from two CRA data sources. The first includes the most recent publically available T3010 Registered Charity Information Returns. The second database consists of charities according to their current status. Both are updated monthly.

Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey Data 
This annually updated database contains all public elementary and secondary schools in the United States.

For more information about the data sources used for our grants and research funding clients, take a look at our Wiki page.

There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference? A non-dedicated server means your server is “hosted” in a shared environment with other, separate organizations.   A dedicated server is your organization’s own server and only contains your data. Why would my organization choose one option over the other? The answer to this question really depends on the classification level of your data, the governance rules of your organization and your country’s data sovereignty laws. That’s really not as complicated as it sounds. Data classification is all about how sensitive your data is and, therefore,
