What is CharityEZ and how to use it
Marquette University has partnered with a new public charity, CharityEZ, Inc., to develop a new database for finding funding information. This new online funding search portal, called CharityEZ, not only includes the same up-to-date information that you were accustomed to in the Foundations in Wisconsin service, it also offers simple access to a vast pool of federal data on philanthropies and philanthropists in Wisconsin and across the US.
As long as the library only allows users to access the database on-site at the library and does not give users the sign-in and password, then CharityEZ will remain free for libraries starting in 2024 and beyond.
To set up access to CharitzEZ at your library:
-
- Each library should create one account per location at www.charityez.org
- After they do so, they will receive an email from CharityEZ requesting that they provide documentation that they are a nonprofit organization
- The library will then upload their tax-exempt certificate (or comparable document) to their account on charityez.org per the directions in the email
- CharityEZ will then approve the account and notify the library of approval via email
- Once their account is approved, libraries can create a “read only” account for their patrons. Please follow the directions below to do so:
- Click the “Users” icon
- Select “Add User”
- Name the user “Public” or “Library Users” or something similar
- Assign that user “read only” permission level
