The eligibility requirements that apply to the applicant organization do not necessarily apply to partner organizations, subcontractors, and other collaborators. However, subcontracts or partner relationships with for-profit entities or entities based outside the United States may require additional financial and/or legal due diligence.

If you require a fiscal sponsor, they will not be required to meet the eligibility requirements stated on page 10 of the funding opportunity brochure. However, preference will be given to applicants that are either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not private foundations or Type III supporting organizations. RWJF may require additional documentation.
