From Marcy,
In Lexis Nexis, on the “company dossier” search screen, you can also search for non-profits, 501c3, foundations, etc. – to quickly pull what’s available on one organization and/or to pull together a list of non-profits within a given geography. Non-profits are a favorite of several of the business course projects for undergraduates so it may be useful for answering some of those questions.

USF Budget and local salaries
From Jim,
If the person is interested in budget information at the college, departmental, or office level, they can request that information from the USF budget office. It is a matter of public record. All they need to say is they want the information under "Chapter 119, Laws of Florida." Of course, one trend that many of us have witnessed as more information is done online and less is available by paper (think of faculty reviews that used to be available to students) is that institutions make it difficult for people to locate information.
Fortunately, there is a new database portal available through tbo.com (publishers of the Tampa Tribune), that includes salary information for individuals. This will be very helpful to share with people who wish to know salary information of any public employees who work for the state, as well as many public agencies in the Tampa Bay area (including USF).
They should visit:
http://www2.tbo.com/static/news-special-reports-data-bay/tbo-special-reports-database-hillsborough-salaries/
Then they can enter the name, or partial name. If it's a common name, they can limit information to the University of South Florida by clicking on the drop box. One caveat: the salary information seems to include only funds from public sources. For example, Jim Leavitt--the USF football coach--is listed with a compensation of $750,000. Of course, his contract with guaranteed endorsements, etc., pushes him up around $1.5 million.
