GuideStar report alternative
Research nonprofit compensation with a live IRS Form 990 report.
People who remember GuideStar compensation reports may now be looking for a configurable online salary database. 990Search lets you define a nonprofit peer group and generate compensation statistics from public filing data.
990Search is independently operated and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GuideStar.
Define the peer group
Refine available filings by year, geography, organization type, financial scale, and minimum reported compensation.
Review the distribution
Use observation counts, averages, medians, and percentiles instead of relying on one organization or one salary.
An independent alternative for nonprofit salary benchmarking
990Search uses its own software, classification rules, report design, and access model. It relies on public IRS filing data and its documented methodology. When comparing services, verify the source years, covered forms, role definitions, observation rules, and licensing terms.
Review the 990Search methodology or learn about nonprofit salary benchmarking.
