Your best bet is to formally request their Form 990, as the IRS requires that to be available for inspection. If they still refuse, you can file a complaint with the IRS.
On the verification front, the Nonprofit Check Plus API is a game changer. It lets you instantly verify any nonprofit’s compliance status by pulling real-time data directly from the IRS and OFAC. This API automates the due diligence process, making donor platforms and grantmaking workflows more transparent and trustworthy.

The same rules apply to nonprofits since we follow the same tax code. If the meal is for your convenience as the employer, it is not deductible and could be taxable to employees. Mid-day meetings usually count as convenience, so yes, you might need to run it through payroll

Great question, Angelica. We absolutely use materiality as our guide. If that donated software or pro bono service would matter to a board member or donor, it goes in. If not, we track it internally and move on. Saves so much headache.
What is your threshold for deciding what is “material” enough?
