A NOTE FROM OUR TEAM: We want you to succeed! We value our partnerships and believe in the power of collaboration. Please note that, due to the high volume of submissions, we do not offer courtesy reviews. Your application will be evaluated based on the documents you submit with your online application. We recommend gathering all necessary documentation in advance to streamline the submission process. It may be helpful to review your documents and save them with clear, appropriate titles to ensure accurate submission. Double – better yet, triple! – check that your documents are current and valid, as outdated documents will not be accepted. Unfortunately, uploading an old 990, an expired tax-exempt form, or wrong document is likely to result in denial. To assist you, we have provided several examples of required documents to help ensure you are attaching the correct items. You may access a pdf of the application and example documents here.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS: Please contact our Director of Impact, Deborah Lawson at deborah@united-way.org or (850)812-3386.
