Product update: New Form 990 Schedule H and Schedule C information available

Published Aug. 14, 2018

View, search, export, and benchmark Schedule H and Schedule C information in Cause IQ


Cause IQ customers reached out to our team and suggested we add Schedule H and Schedule C information to the website. Schedule H information allows you to better understand the activities and policies of, and community benefits provided by, hospital organizations. Schedule C is used by organizations to report additional information on both political campaign activities and/or lobbying activities. Cause IQ added specific parts of these schedules to the website and the information is available for customers to view, search, analyze, export, and benchmark.

You can find the new Schedule H and Schedule C information at the bottom of the "All" tab in the search filter sidebar. The fields are organized and named according to the field number. Here's a list of the new Schedule H and Schedule C information available:
