I am applying for a grant and need a copy of the 501c/3 number for the organization. How do I get this info?

Answer 1

If you will apply for a grant, then YOUR organization should first get the 501C3 certification from the IRS. If you don't have that yet, then you need to get one http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=96109,00.html

If your organization is already 501C3 certified, then simply ask any of your organization members who handled this.

To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants.

The first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from

1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number
2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)
3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives
4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)

You will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant http://www.cfda.gov which is the federal database of all grants.

Answer 2

The best place is to check with the IRS better known as the Internal Revenue Service. However, this will take time since the IRS is backlogued at the current time. I heard from someone it was something like 4 or 5 months, and I heard that back in December 2006. The best place is to contact your local IRS office and request the forms.

Answer 3

Uhm, do mean the untaxable section of a government organization ?
