Organizational Requirements
Applying organization must be either a:
1. Non-Profit Corporation as evidenced by
a. 501(c) status with the IRS, or
b. Corporation registered as a non-profit organization with the Department of State of Florida, Division of Corporations (see www.sunbiz.org); or
2. Local Municipal Department, including parks & recreation, child services and similar departments; or
3. Florida School, grades K through 12
501(c) Status - Although junior programs are not required to have obtained 501(c) status from the IRS to be eligible for FJGC grants, such formal, non-profit status is highly recommended. Having 501(c) status increases an organization's ability to secure grants from other sources and will allow individuals to make tax-deductible contributions to your program.
