These organizations want to be exempt from federal income taxes and must file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for consideration.

The form you need to submit shows the IRS that your organization's purpose is to help religious, charitable, educational or scientific needs in the community. You can purchase a kit (created by The Foundation Group) to help you with this process.

Advice may also be obtained from the IRS: 1-800-829-1040. Because tax-exempt status is given for "educational, religious, benevolent, fraternal or charitable purposes," an arts organization's mission and purpose must be clearly educational and support that claim.

Because separate grants will be awarded, it is not necessary to include the partner institution as a subcontract in the original application. The narrative accompanying the modular budget should include a description of the respective roles of the partners and their institutions on the proposed project. Prior to award, information will be requested “Just in Time” on the specific budget requirements of each of the partner institutions.

Upon application by a charitable organization, the Internal Revenue Service will grant Section 501(c)(3) status in appropriate cases.

The purpose of this bicycle race is to raise people's awareness of those dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. C.F. is a genetic life threatening disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems of children and young adults. We also strive to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation so that research can be continued and that families may receive help with expenses incurred while dealing with this disease.

The recent television ads sponsored by the Save Darfur Coalition asking President Bush to take the lead in pushing for the deployment of a UN force in Darfur are not meant in any way to “bash” the President, but rather to urge him to follow through on the good work he and his Administration have already begun.

No. Only an organization that is a formally recognized 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization by the United States government may apply for a grant. This being the case, a ministry must wait until it has fully obtained its 501(c)3 status (i.e. no pending checks) before applying. However, a situation may arise where a qualified ministry seeks to launch a “daughter” ministry that is to become a separate entity from the ministry that oversees it.

No. The Union Pacific Foundation reviews more than 1,250 grant requests per year and can only support a small portion of these projects. Unless the nonprofit currently possesses a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS, you would not be eligible to apply.

Although we prefer that applicants have 501(c)(3) status, an organization can apply if it uses a valid fiscal sponsor.
