SOI Tax Stats - 2009 Private Foundations Microdata Files
Return to the Tax Stats home page
This section contains microdata files for all Forms 990-PF sampled for the annual SOI studies of private foundations.
The data are contained in ASCII flat files, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and Adobe Acrobat PDF. Documentation to assist with the files is included. (Free Adobe Acrobat reader and Microsoft Excel viewer software is available for download, if needed.)
The SOI sample includes returns filed by private foundations, exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), and section 4947(a)(1) nonexempt charitable trusts. The stratified random samples are based on asset size and represent approximately 10 percent of Forms 990-PF filed; sampling rates of 100 percent are applied to large-asset classes. Microdata records contain most financial information from Forms 990-PF, as well as weights (to estimate the population), for each organization.
