Eligibility: 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in the Washington region (see RFP) with operating budgets of $3 million or below may be eligible to apply. Please remember that reviewers consider "appeal to donors" when evaluating an organization: if your appeal is extremely specialized or your group is open to "members only," you may wish to reconsider before applying. See application instructions for detailed information about eligibility. Nonprofits featured in the '03-'04 through '06'07 Catalogues ARE eligible to reapply in 2010 if they have not been re-featured since their first appearance. They will participate in the same review process as new applicants. Those featured in subsequent Catalogues are NOT eligible to apply this year.
