Select Your Organization

When completing your application, you can find your organization by searching for its name or Registration ID in the Select Your Organization modal.

Note: The information we have on file for organizations is provided by government agencies like the IRS and other Registration Authorities. Because of this, organization details shown in the search results may not match how you refer to your organization. This includes spelling, punctuation, etc.

The Registration ID is the nonprofit's official ID issued by the government. Based on the location, it's often referred to as EIN, Tax ID, BIN, Government ID, VAT, BN, or PAN Number.

 

After entering your search term, you can filter results by location by selecting your country from the All countries dropdown. Search results can be further narrowed by selecting from the All states, provinces, and regions dropdown that appears.

If your organization doesn't appear in the search results, try checking the spelling, spacing, and abbreviations. You can use the search tips below to refine your search.

  • Search for the organization's Registration ID.

  • Check spelling and spacing. For example, try searching for FoodBank instead of Food Bank.

  • Check for abbreviations. For example, try searching for Co instead of County.

  • Don't include common words and punctuation. Remove words like a or the and punctuations like periods and commas.

  • Don't include suffixes. For example, try searching for Bird instead of Birds or Walk instead of Walked.

  • Include Chapter in your search if the organization is a chapter of a larger parent organization.

  • Check the My Organizations tab, if available. This shows any organizations added by the client that may not be widely available in YourCause.

Tip: If you can't find your organization after following these search tips, it may mean that it's not yet available in our platform or it's not eligible to apply for the program. You may be able to add your organization using the Add organization link in the Select Your Organization modal, if available.

 

If you still can't find your organization after following our search tips, it may mean that it's not yet available in our platform or it's not eligible to apply for the program. You can add it by clicking on the Add organization link at the bottom of the Select Your Organization modal and continuing with the instructions outlined in How do I add my organization?.

Warning: The Add organization option is not available for all programs. This link only appears in the Select Your Organization modal if the program allows new organizations to be added. If you don't see it, then you should reach out to the client running the program for next steps.

 

Any organizations shown in the search results with this note will need to be vetted in YourCause NPOconnect before grants can be paid - Vetting required to be eligible for giving through the Blackbaud Giving Fund.
