What does a non profit organization do to get a grant?

If I am starting a non profit organization, and I get foundation grants, can I use this grant money towards for-profit purposes? For example, contracting a university capstone program?

  • Answer:

    Generally, You have significant responsibilities in the expenditure of foundation funds. The issues involved include the rules, responsibilities of the granting organization (eg public or private), IRS regulations, federal/ state rules etc. I would recommend talking to your accountant and/or tax attorney to ensure your plans for expenditures are in keeping with regulations and foundation expectations. Make sure to keep excellent documentation in case questions arise in the future about your use of grant money. Good luck!
