How does it work?

the approval
  • Step 1: Sign up.
    You will be asked to create an account and complete a short application.
    We need to collect some basic information about you and the organization you plan to support (e.g., your school) to confirm you meet the criteria to be added to our IRS group exemption.
  • Step 2: We'll review your application and approve your membership.
    Upon approval, your organization will automatically be added to the official subordinate listing for our IRS group exemption.2
    Members joining under our group exemption will receive immediate tax-exempt status.2 No need to file IRS forms or pay the federal filing fee!
  • Step 3: We file the paperwork.
    It's time to complete your state and federal registrations.1
    Good news! We'll handle the paperwork, so you can focus on your mission. Just complete the fiscal year profile in your Registration Dashboard so we are able to file1 on your behalf.

State filing fees (fees charged by the state in which you operate) are not included in the cost of membership. Some filing types may not be available in every state. See more on state fees.
2
IRS rules indicate that you are recognized as tax-exempt the moment we add you to our official subordinate listing. It can take around a year or sometimes longer for organizations to appear in the IRS Business Master File (BMF). Some less flexible donors may be unwilling to issue grants or donations until this time. See more on proving your exemption.
