How do I register my organization?
Please choose from the following options:
Existing accounts:
If you have submitted an inquiry, applied for a grant, or received funding from the Frey Foundation before, your organization may already be registered. If it is, but you cannot access the account, please contact your system administrator to be added to the account, or reach out to [email protected] and we will be happy to assist.
New accounts:
If your organization is not registered, please follow the steps below:
- Click the “Register” button.
- Indicate whether your organization is a current, 501(c)(3) organization or otherwise tax-exempt.
- If you selected 501(c)(3) organization:
- Follow the on-screen instructions. Please enter either the employment identification number OR the organization name OR address in the form provided. Our system will search the IRS database to help complete your profile.
- When the search is complete, click on your organization to open the Organization Information page.
- Complete the Organization and Contact Information and click “Submit” to create a profile in the system. Proceed to Step 5.
- If you selected Other Tax-Exempt Organization, complete the Organization and Contact Information, and click the Submit button to create a profile in the system.
- Once the registration process is complete, watch for an email with instructions on how to set your password. You can then log in and begin an application for funding. If additional people will be working on your application, you can also add their contact information to your Organization Profile.
