New Organizations

First things first: Activate your Nonprofit Portal Account.  

After you have created your personal log-in, you need to Activate the Nonprofit Portal Account. You only have to do this once, for as long as you are with us. It can take up to 24 hours for portal account requests to be approved. 

Activate Portal Account

Once the nonprofit portal account is activated, you will receive an email and you will no longer be able to access the page via the button above. 

If you see "Access Denied" the portal account is already activated.

Important, new this year:  The Secretary of State has changed the charities website and the letter they provide for verification.  We believe that in the future it will be make verification much easier.  Right now, however, it makes it slightly more complicated. 

  • The new letter format from the Secretary of State can not be accepted.  It does not verify current registration. 
  • There is no longer a unique URL to your specific listing on their website.

The website can now be used for verification. However, because we can't link directly to your listing, you will need to make a PDF of the page and upload it with your application.

2. Copy of your IRS letter of determination see example

3. Signed King County Substitute W-9 Click Here to download. DO NOT USE THE FEDERAL W-9
