Field notes
Search can be narrowed by firm, donor-advised fund, state, or city, with the homepage explaining that some filters narrow other searches. The leaderboards specify tax years and coverage windows, while individual figures are described as linked to their filings. FURP says its daily picks are interesting finds rather than news stories, though it notes that reporters may spot story ideas in them.
