The consultation also is meant to assist the grantee in understanding the Community Foundation's grantmaking process and application requirements.
Applicants should bring a copy of the organization's current IRS determination letter (indicating 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status) and the organization's license to solicit to the pre-application meeting.
