The Bear Family Foundation is proud to consider organizations in Northwest Florida who are registered with one of the following United States tax status definitions:
501(c)(3) Private Operating Foundation
The organization has a determination letter from the United States Internal Revenue Service that designates the organization as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). The organization is further defined as a private operating foundation under sections 4942(j)(3) and 509(a) because it devotes most of its resources to the active conduct of its exempt activities.
501(c)(3) Public Charity
The organization has a determination letter from the United States Internal Revenue Service that designates the organization as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). The organization is further defined as a publicly supported organization under section 509(a)(1), 509(a)(2), or 509(a)(3).
501(c)(3) Private Foundation
The organization has a determination letter from the United States Internal Revenue Service that designates the organization as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). The organization is further defined as a private foundation (non-operating) under section 509(a), or a private foundation operating under sections 509(a) and 4942(j)(3).
At times, the funds requested are part of a much larger fund drive. If the application is approved for a specific project within the organization, The Bear Family Foundation restricts the money to be used towards the success of the project being considered. Depending on purpose, the foundation may require a specific performance area for the funds.
The following Projects are not considered for Bear Family Foundation grants:
- Direct donations or grants to individuals
- Organizations not issued a determination letter from the United States Internal Revenue Service that designates the organization as exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c)(3)
