How US nonprofits are set up for grants

501(c)(3) status

Most private foundations and many government programs fund organizations recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3). Organizations usually apply with Form 1023 or the shorter Form 1023-EZ.

Form 990 filings

Tax-exempt organizations file an annual return. Small organizations with gross receipts normally of $50,000 or less can file the Form 990-N e-Postcard; others file Form 990-EZ or the full Form 990. Funders often ask for the latest 990.

SAM.gov and UEI
