Fill in the your organization’s information completely.

There are form fields on the form for United Way Vendor Number and Andar Number. The UWCF team will fill those fields in. You are not responsible for filling in that information.

If you do not have a copy of your 501c3 Determination Letter from the IRS to submit, you can still apply.

You must upload a document in its place that shows your 501c3 status. The Grant Application Review team along will determine if your organization still qualifies based on the document you upload.

However, it should be noted that organizations that can provide a copy of their 501c3 Determination Letter have a better chance of getting their application approved.
