Application

Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

Please complete these Organization questions to the best of your ability. If you have yet to finalize a fiscal sponsor or secure equivalency determination, you can still apply. If your application is selected as a finalist, our Grants Manager will work with you on these things to process the payment as easily as possible.




Please provide the Tax ID (EIN in the United States) of the charity that would receive and administer these funds for your organization.  If your organization is a company with its own charity status, here you will provide your organization's own Tax ID.  If your organization has a parent organization that receives and administers funding for it, please provide the parent organization's Tax ID.  If your organization receives funds from the US via an intermediary organization, provide that organization's Tax ID.


Please provide a viewable-by-anyone link verifying the charity status of the receiving charity.  
This may be in the form of a link to a screenshot of the IRS charity search tool. Please take a full screenshot of the webpage: you must include the name of the organization, the URL, and the EIN in the screenshot. For UK charities, provide a link to the UK Charity Commission listing.  Otherwise, provide a link to another official document or source evidencing the charity status of the receiving charity.
