Part 1: Tax status
In the Tax Status section, choose your organization’s designation: 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) entity, Federally Recognized Tribe, fiscally sponsored project, or ‘other’ for a different entity.
501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) organizations
If your organization is a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) tax-exempt entity, click the dropdown menu under Tax Status to specify its tax-exempt status.
Fiscally sponsored organizations and projects
- If your organization or project is fiscally sponsored, select the option for ‘Fiscally sponsored project of a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) entity.’
- Enter the fiscal sponsor’s name, select the fiscal sponsor’s tax-exempt status from the dropdown menu, and enter the fiscal sponsor’s EIN.
Federally Recognized Tribes
If you are registering a tribal entity for a JustFund account, select the Federally Recognized Tribe option. Click here to read more about tribal entity structures.
For-profit and other entities
JustFund approves for-profits and other entity types that are focused on grassroots and advocacy work. Please select ‘For-Profit’ if your organization does not have nonprofit tax-exempt status or federal tribe designation, or ‘Other’ if it is not defined as a for-profit, tax-exempt entity, or a federally recognized tribe.
For-profit organizations and other entities can only apply to existing funding opportunities on the JustFund platform. During registration, you’ll be asked to name the specific funding opportunity you are applying to.
