What's New

Next Deadline
The next deadline to receive applications is July 5, 2008. Subsequent deadlines will be October 5, 2008, January 5, 2009 and April 5, 2009.
Public Charity Status
Correct and consistent tax status indicators are a priority. Applicants should be certain that their IRS determination letter and their IRS Form 990 are consistent with regard to the organization's 509(a)(1, 2 or 3) classification. While the well known 501(c)(3) non-profit status remains the initial test, the correct 509(a) classification is equally important. Organizations should consult their tax advisor if there are questions or uncertainties.
