Technical Questions About Online Applications The following information relates to using our online application system. What username and password should I use? If the organization has applied in the past, it is best to use those same login credentials.

If you do not have that information, you will need to create a username and password. The nonprofit’s tax ID is the nine-digit federal tax ID issued by the IRS, otherwise known as an employer identification number (EIN) (e.g. tax ID #12-3456789).

If your organization does not have IRS tax-exempt status but is applying using an eligible fiduciary or fiscal agent, continue with the instructions below: In the Organization Information section: Organization name: name of your organization or local chapter Legal name: name of the fiduciary or fiscal agent Do I have to complete the application in one session? No, you can start the application and save it to finish later.

Click on the "Save and Finish Later" button at the bottom of the page. You will get an automated email letting you know that you have successfully saved your in-progress application. How do I return to review, revise and/or submit my in-progress application?

After clicking on “Save and Finish Later” button, you will receive an automated email with a link to access your application. Click on the link and enter your login credentials. You will be brought to a yellow screen that shows your in-progress applications.

Click on the version you want to review. How do I know if I successfully submitted my application? ?

Once your application is completed and all attachments are uploaded, click the "Review & Submit" button at the bottom of the last page. When you are ready to submit, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page. An automated confirmation email will be sent to you that includes the content of your application.

Keep this email for your records. Add [email protected] to your email address book to ensure these messages arrive in your inbox. I entered my username and password, but still cannot see my in-progress applications or my account page.

If you are still unsuccessful with accessing your account, please contact [email protected] . I have logged into my account and don't see my application listed. Be sure you are using the link provided in the automated email you received the last time you clicked “Save and Finish Later” on your application.

If you are taken to a new application, you may not be using the correct link to get back to your account. Once logged in, you will see all pending and submitted applications for that account. Use the drop-down on the right side of the page to toggle between In Progress Applications and Submitted Applications.

I logged in as a returning applicant, but it takes me to a blank application. If you logged in to work on an in-progress application and saw a blank page, you did not choose the "Save & Finish Later" button before you exited the program, and your work was not saved. You will need to start a new application.

I clicked on the “Forgot Password” link but am receiving an error message. Confirm the email address you are using is the same as the one you used to initially create an account. For additional technical support with your application, contact [email protected] .
