Thank you for your interest in profiling your nonprofit organization on GivingMatters.com!
We are excited to begin this process with you.
Before submitting a request, please note that GivingMatters.com is an online self-entry process.
A GivingMatters.com staff member will review your request. When all necessary documents are received, GivingMatters.com will initiate your profile, and you will be issued a username and password via email, along with instructions to begin building your nonprofit profile.
GivingMatters.com staff members are available to support you throughout this process. We require that an organization complete a profile
within 4 weeks
of receiving a request. Since a profile takes about 4-12 hours of your staff time to complete, please submit your request when you have this time available. Once a profile is created, information and financial documents may be updated as often as desired,
with a minimum of once a year.
*Please note that while a current GivingMatters.com profile is a requirement for many funding opportunities, the profile does not replace any grant applications. To be eligible for funding opportunities, organizations must still complete all other grant application requirements.*
Organizations profiled on GivingMatters.com must meet the following criteria:
- Nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status.
