Subject: 501(3)c eligibility
It is obvious from the eligibility requirements and the application
that approved 501(3)c status is required for the google grants.

My organization works under a support organization, and while our
application is pending for our own 501(3)c determination we have been
using the support organization's information to apply for grants.

We have been successful in receiving grant in this way, althougth some
foundations will not accept it.

My question is two fold.  Can we use the EIN of our Support
Organization in the application stage and still be eligible for the
grant?  And, if yes, is there additional paperwork required once we
get our determination letter and EIN?

Thanks for the question, Matthew.

You are correct. We require organizations to be 501(c)(3) registered
in order to be eligible for the Google Grants program. Unfortunately,
we cannot approve applications utilizing a parent, fiscally-sponsored,
or support organization's EIN number.

However, you can encourage your support organization to apply to
Google Grants. If this organization is accepted into the program, they
can request to advertise additional websites of the programs they
organize or support.  In this instance, it could be your organization!

Please also keep in mind that it could take at least 3 months for your
organization to appear in the online database, after receiving 501(c)
(3) status from the IRS. I highly recommend speaking with an IRS
representative to ensure that your organization is listed in a timely
manner. If we are unable to locate your organization in the online
database, your application is subject to immediate rejection.

Hope this helps!

That was extremely helpful, and I will advise my superiors
accordingly.

Thank you for your timely response, and your thoughtful ideas.
