Grant Request Process

To be considered for a Give Something Back Community Fund grant, a nonprofit must be a registered 501c3 and not be organized with the specific goal of political lobbying or supporting a particular religious group or institution. Regional foundations determine if a Community Based Organization meets our criteria and make recommendations on the groups that appear on our donation ballots. Qualified CBOs may also receive donations directly from Give Something Back employees.

If you are interested in being considered for our annual ballot, please complete the GSB Fund Application Form and send to the appropriate regional foundation.

To recommend a nonprofit, please send us an email identifying the contact name, phone number, address and a brief description of the organization.

If you would like more information, please send an email to GSBgives@givesomethingback.com
