Information in Cause IQ is constantly being updated, with different data sources having different update frequencies. We get about 50,000 new Form 990s from the IRS every month (due to a variety of fiscal year ends and filing dates), which we then usually have digitized and quality controlled within 2-3 weeks.

For audit results from the A-133 Single Audits, we get one large dump of information once a year from the federal government.

Our website and social media algorithms update information multiple times per year for organizations, and our research team manually researches and checks organizations multiple times per year as well.

For key personnel, because we source staff and board members, as well as their contact information, from six different sources, each source has its own update frequency, from weekly to yearly. A given person's profile on Cause IQ often is constructed from multiple different sources.

To help equip you to make informed decisions, all of our information is marked with the last modified dates, which indicate the most recently updated confirmed data source for that organization or person. Please note that this date corresponds to when the information was up-to-date, not when the data entered our system, so all Form 990 financial information is dated according to when that organization submitted the information to the IRS, not when Cause IQ received the information.
