Options
editThe first positional parameter is required, the organization's Employer Identification Number (EIN), a nine-digit number, with no dashes:
* {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|EIN}}
The second positional parameter is the link anchor text, and defaults to article title):
* {{ProPublicaNonprofitExplorer|EIN|NonprofitName}}
Note that these example usages show a leading asterisk "*" for a bulleted list since this template is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
