About these listings. The Builders Map is built from public records: IRS-registered nonprofits (sorted into provider types by their NTEE code or registered name), public library outlets from the IMLS Public Libraries Survey, colleges and trade schools from the NCES IPEDS directory, and American Job Centers and workforce boards from CareerOneStop. Nonprofit cities are registered mailing addresses, and job centers, workforce boards and nonprofits are placed at their ZIP code, so map pins are approximate. Every listing is unverified until the provider confirms it, and none is an endorsement. Lenders and loan products are not listed. Always confirm hours, eligibility and costs with the provider.
