Additional Databases
Note: Not all non-profit (.org) sites are created equally. ".org" only means the site owners are, traditionally, not a profit-based company, it is not an indicator of credibility. Use the databases and government sources first.
As you are evaluating the information a foundation selects to appear on its site, be diligent in looking for information about the various "Foundations" outside of the organization's page:
Example: American College of Pediatricians vs American Association of Pediatrics

Remember also that the web and social media (and even traditional, standards-based, journalism) can be driven by need for 'clicks' and engagement, which can lead to sensationalist or 'Click-bait' headlines.
