Returning Organizations
How do I know if I am new or returning?
Returning organizations are on this online nonprofit list.
If your KCEGP code starts with 10 or a 9, then you apply directly to the program. If it starts with any other number you are represented by a federation and they apply on your organization's behalf. Please double-check if they are applying for you this year as well.
Make sure you are logged in with your username or you have redeemed a portal invite.
- If you don't know your username you can request it here. Please note: If you register a new user and/or activate a new portal account you could potentially erase anything previously in the system.
- The process is streamlined, requiring only one document and a pre-populated application, making it faster and more convenient.
Apply
The application has two required parts:
- Nonprofit and Contact Information
- Please review and submit any changes as needed.
- Eligibility and Further Information
- Upload required document.
- This part is required to be submitted every year, but as a returning organization you will see an application in progress with auto-populated information from the previous year.
