I do not believe that they must supply the tax returns as this is confidential information and unless publicly/government funded organization would not be public documents normally. They must supply the tax ID number if you were a contributor to the institution, this is for your records to verify the deductible contributions that were given to them and deductible by the contributors on their personal tax return as a charitable contribution. If you are in a law suit then these records can be subpoenaed but you will have to check with legal counsel in you area as to what they are required to provide.
