Grants 101: What is a Grant Pass-Through Organization


Grant Pass-Through Organization
Commonly Foundations will only give money to 501 (C) 3 organizations.  These organizations have been approved by the IRS for accepting charitable donations and have them be tax deductible.  The organizations are Educational, Scientific etc., and serve a public purpose.

Some of these organizations become umbrella organizations and let other agencies use their tax status to acquire grants.  This means if you have a project that meets the guidelines, you could access the grant through another organization.

  2. Yes...it helps to have a pass through for a non-profit just starting out. Sometimes people have a good idea and then they get hung up in getting the tax status and it frustrates them because the process moves so so slowly.
