Provider for Faker which adds fake nonprofit information.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining an existing project that already depends on this package. The project is archived and abandoned with no updates since 2021, so it will not receive maintenance, security patches, or compatibility fixes. For new projects, use the current version of faker with custom provider logic or seek an actively maintained nonprofit data generation package instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on faker.
- However, the package is archived and abandoned—last release was 2021-12-01 with no updates since, and the repository has been archived.
- No active maintenance or bug fixes should be expected.

pip install faker-nonprofit
from faker import Faker
import faker_nonprofit
fake = Faker()
fake.add_provider(faker_nonprofit.Provider)
print(fake.nonprofit_name())- What nonprofit-specific methods beyond nonprofit_name() are actually provided by the Provider class.
- Whether the package works reliably with current versions of faker, given no updates since 2021.
- Compatibility with Snowfakery and whether the sample recipe example still functions.
What it is and what it does
faker-nonprofit is a provider plugin for the Faker library that adds methods to generate fake nonprofit organization data. It was built to support Snowfakery, a tool for generating synthetic test data, and is maintained by the Salesforce Open Source Commons community. The package extends Faker's capabilities with nonprofit-specific generators, allowing developers to populate test databases and development environments with realistic nonprofit names and related attributes without using real organization data.
The package depends only on faker and installs with minimal friction. However, it has been archived and abandoned since its initial release in December 2021, with no subsequent updates or maintenance. This means it will not receive bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates for newer versions of faker or Python, making it a legacy tool suitable only for projects that can tolerate stale dependencies.
Use it for
- Generate test data for nonprofit management systems or CRM applications during development and QA.
- Populate seed databases with realistic nonprofit names for integration tests without hitting real APIs.
- Create mock datasets for Snowfakery recipes that simulate nonprofit organization structures.
- Build demo or training environments with plausible nonprofit data for user acceptance testing.
