Can a nonprofit or foundation have a Wikipedia page?

Quick answer

Yes. Nonprofits and foundations qualify when they meet the notability standard through in-depth independent coverage of their work, impact, controversies, or organizational history.

Nonprofits and foundations are eligible for Wikipedia articles on the same terms as other organizations: significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources, where the coverage treats the organization substantively rather than mentioning it in passing inside a story about something else. The substantive coverage often takes one of several forms. Coverage of the nonprofit’s work and impact (program outcomes, beneficiaries, on-the-ground reporting). Coverage of its organizational history, governance, or evolution. Investigative reporting, including critical coverage where applicable. Coverage of significant grants given or received, partnerships, or major events. The notability standard does not give nonprofits a discount, but the body of published sources available is often broader than for similarly sized commercial organizations, because nonprofit work generates a different kind of editorial coverage.
