Eligibility Criteria
Eligible grant recipients are:
501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofit organizations with a Fiscal Sponsor
Educational organizations
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Native CDFIs
Tribal governments (state and federally recognized) and their instrumentalities
Organizations applying for 501(c)(3) status, but who have not yet received that designation, may apply using a Fiscal Sponsor.
Instrumentalities of Tribes (of state or federally recognized Tribes) can mean any number of things such as Tribal departments of agriculture, food authorities or even food processing or food marketing entities. Tribal governments have the latitude to determine which entities are instrumentalities of their governments; NAAF only needs proper documentation as to that status. If an organization has eligible status as an educational institution or a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, for instance, but wishes to be considered as an instrumentality of a Tribal government, the organization must secure and submit an authorizing document from their Tribal government to that specific effect. A statement from an organization other than a Tribal government will not suffice for this purpose.
Applicants must prove their eligibility. Examples of eligibility documentation include IRS determination letters, Tribal resolutions and charters, articles of incorporation and US Treasury letters. IRS letters assigning an EIN are not sufficient proof of eligibility.
