Form 5500 plan sponsors
Every employer or other entity that sponsors a pension, 401(k) or welfare benefit plan files a Form 5500 (or the short 5500-SF) each year with the Department of Labor. This is the list of sponsors from those filings: who they are, where they are, how many plans and years, and the people who signed or prepared the returns. FURP keeps the names, states and the record id only, and adds the sponsors to its business registry pages.
1,638,677 sponsors, 14,877,171 filings, plan years 1007 to 2026.
Form 5500 and 5500-SF annual returns of employee benefit plans, from the Department of Labor's EFAST2 bulk datasets (plan years 2009 on, updated monthly): names, states and the record id only. Loaded 2026-11-04.

What this covers, and what it doesn't
- Names and states only: the sponsor, the plan administrator, the names that signed and prepared the return, the preparer’s firm, and on the 5500-SF the fiduciary trust and trustee. Participant counts, assets, contributions and the schedules are not loaded; each filing links to the Department of Labor’s search for the full return.
- Plan years 2009 on (EFAST2). Amended returns are separate records. Names are as the filer typed them.
- Sponsors are matched to nonprofits by EIN, and to businesses, lobbying clients and registrants, Form D issuers and advisers by name and state (one record on each side). The people who signed or prepared returns are matched to person pages, FEC donors and lobbyists by full name with a middle name or initial, and state.
