Additionally, only organizations that are 501c3 public charities, municipal government agencies or universities can apply for a grant through Maddie's Fund. We are generally not able to provide grants to individuals or for-profit organizations.

Organizations that are 501c3 public charities must be in good standing with the IRS.You can check your tax-exempt status, and if your status has been revoked, with the IRS here: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/automatic-revocation-of-exemption-list.

If you have applied for your tax-exempt status with the IRS, and have not yet received your approval, you are welcome to apply once you receive approval.
