Our Data

Every organization on Mind Light is sourced from public records and institutional databases. We don't rely on self-reported profiles. We go to the source — IRS filings, state registries, and verified public records — then use AI to organize it into something useful.

INFRASTRUCTURE OF TRUST

We don't ask nonprofits to submit their own profiles. We go to the public record, verify it across multiple authoritative databases, and use AI to make it accessible. Every data point has a source. Every source has a legal basis.

Organizations can claim their profiles to add supplementary content like videos, campaign updates, and direct messaging — but the foundational data comes from us.
