Here are some documents to assist you on applications for grants and with fundraising from individuals:

Green Dot Form 990  Green Dot's Tax Return for Fiscal Year 2007 (July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007). This is public information. Some grants will require this document.

IRS Tax Exempt Letter  Letter from IRS confirming Green Dot's non-profit, tax-exempt status. Some grants will require this. Other grants will only ask for Green Dot's tax ID number, which is 95-4679811.

Grant Proposal Template  Suggested language describing Green Dot for writing grant proposals.

Thank You Letter Use this template to thank individual donors, acknowledge their contribution, and provide them with a receipt for tax purposes. Generally, grant makers do not require a thank you letter. In fact, some specifically do not want to receive them.
