State Agency Database Highlights features a website useful for Floridians making charitable donations: Gift Givers' Guide: A Guide to Charitable Giving in Florida, from the Florida Division of Consumer Services. It provides data including the charity's license number, revenue, and what portion of funds goes toward program services, and what portion goes toward administrative and fundraising costs. In addition to many local results, sample searches turned up some national organizations.
Hi Meg, Thank you for recommending Florida's charity registry and for mentioning the State Agency Database highlights blog.
I wanted to let you know that the ALA GODORT Wiki has an extensive page on other Florida produced databases at http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/State_Agency_Databases.
This list has been put together by Rich Gause of the University of Central Florida. If you or your readers notice a database Rich has missed, please send him an e-mail.
