What documents do you need for a nonprofit grant application? Start by organizing your IRS determination letter, financial records, organizational and project budgets, board list, and funding sources. Then prepare supporting materials that help a funder understand your work. In episode two of Movement to Momentum, Ken McQuiller of Nonprofit Missionary walks through 10 grant attachments, explains why funders ask for them, and shares a simple way to keep them accessible. This episode is for nonprofit leaders, ministry founders, and faith-based organizations that want to spend less time searching for paperwork when a grant deadline is approaching. The 10 attachments covered: 1. IRS determination letter 2. Form 990 and/or audited financial statements 3. Organizational budget 4. Project budget 5. Board of directors list 6. Funders list 7. Annual report 8. Strategic plan 9. Case for support 10. Program flyers Requirements vary by funder. Use the application instructions to decide which documents to submit, and include optional materials when they add useful context and the funder allows them. Your next step: create one clearly labeled grant attachments folder, gather your current documents, and give the people helping with your applications appropriate access.

Financial clarification: The IRS e-Postcard is Form 990-N; Form 990-EZ is a separate return. Form 990-EZ generally requires gross receipts below $200,000 and year-end assets below $500,000, with exceptions. The $250,000 threshold mentioned in the recording is incorrect. Follow current IRS guidance for your organization's filing requirements. IRS reference: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-pro...
