But there is the usual disclaimer:
“The inclusion of any organization or person in this database does not constitute a representation, warranty, or endorsement with respect to the competence, suitability, or reliability of such organization or person by The Volunteer Center at United Way of Snohomish County; nor does The Volunteer Center at United Way of Snohomish County sponsor or endorse any third-party web site.”

Some other sites are:

Bay Area San Francisco United Way
http://www.theunitedway.org/grants/grants_income.php

But here they do list ACORN as receiving grants and list the names of the grants:
Grantee: Acorn - Oakland
Grantee: Acorn - Richmond
Grantee: Acorn - San Francisco
Grantee: Acorn Of San Mateo
Grantee: Acorn- San Mateo County

Tampa Bay United Way lists ACORN as a Nonprofit Organization

Then you have multiple charities that have nothing to do with UNITED WAY who also share contributions with ACORN.

E.g.
http://www.saintpaulfoundation.org/

“Welcome to the world of Minnesota Community Foundation and The Saint Paul Foundation. We’re two community foundations, working together to create a new era of impact through charitable giving. By mobilizing our resources, we’re building strong communities, where all people can find hope and opportunities to enrich their lives”

See ACORN housing on their recipients list in 2007 for example

ACORN has their hand out everywhere. Which is not surprising.

Rural Assistance Center
http://www.raconline.org/
goes to
U.S. Bancorp Foundation Grants
“The U.S. Bancorp Foundation giving program is designed to respect the diversity of our communities. We are actively involved in our communities, partnering with local nonprofits to meet specific needs within each community.”

Organizations receiving grants from the U.S. Bancorp Foundation in 2003 include:
ACORN
