What is Candid Entity ID?
Candid Entity ID is Candid’s unique identifier for a specific organization that can be
used in lieu of an EIN, or when an EIN is unavailable, such as fiscally sponsored
projects.
When Should I Use It?
You can use Candid Entity ID just as you would an EIN with the Demographics API.
Will Candid Entity IDs Ever Change?
While Candid Entity IDs are designed to rarely change, in some instances, such as
mergers or other unforeseen situations, they may change, at Candid’s discretion.
