What You Need to Apply

  • Most grants require non-profit 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 tax exempt status, as approved by the IRS.
  • Grant funds go to organizations, not individuals.
    • You'll need to be classified as such or affiliated with one in order to apply for grant funding.
    • You'll also need a board of directors, if applicable.
  • Your application must demonstrate that the organization has the capacity and resources to deliver the service required by the funding source [not unlike a business plan for a commercial loan application]
  • You will need to have the capacity for and a solid commitment to record-keeping, both during the application process and the "term" of the grant.
