What Waitt Foundation  Look For

Your Non-Profit Tax Status

U.S. Applicants

Organizations must have a U.S. tax identification number and be able to provide a current copy of their IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter. A charitable organization may apply through a fiscal sponsor if not currently registered as a 501(c)(3), however, documentation of the fiscal sponsor’s non-profit status is required. Only organizations with federal non-profit agency tax status can receive financial support from the Waitt Foundation. During the application process, you will be asked to provide proof of your non-profit 501(c)(3) status - applications without this information will not be considered.
