Project: Identifying nonprofits within certain categories using publically available IRS tax data

Description of script: This script uses a list of keywords in a separate file to reduce the size of the dataset and remove data that is not relevant. The dataset only had limited information and, while the IRS had a search tool, it could only look for one term per search. If a keyword is identified in a line from the input file, it is saved into the output file.

Notes: "Publication 78" data downloaded from https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organization-search-bulk-data-downloads#pub78
