use of interest to us is that if a company has a charitable giving
program in which employees can have an amount withheld from their
paychecks to the charity of their choice, the company would need the
charity's EIN. I'm not aware of any serious problem for a nonprofit
publishing this number (the American Red Cross publishes theirs on their
website). In fact, I've suggested putting ours out there in order to
make it easier for companies to add us to gift-matching programs, but
I'm not aware that this has been done yet.
Our EIN has been on the foundation wiki for some time now:

Of course, that whole set of pages needs to be re-done so finding things like that are
easy.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'm glad to know that
this did get done after all. I agree about reworking the site as well.
One of the Communications committee's plans, which I need to do more
work on, is trying to develop a better idea of what should actually be
on the Foundation website as opposed to being on Meta.
