Nonprofit certification for the Fall 2024 Our Promise
Campaign is available! From now until February 29th, we will give
every qualified nonprofit in California the opportunity to
register with the Our Promise: California State Employees Giving
at Work campaign, the largest charitable campaign in the
state.
This year, the Our Promise Campaign is making a change to the
Certification process. If you were certified
with Our Promise in the 2023 Campaign season, or if
you received a payout from Our Promise during the
2023 calendar year, you will automatically
be applied for Certification in the
2024 Campaign year, and you do not need to fill this form
out. This does not guarantee Certification approval, however, as
that still depends on your organization’s good-standing with the
IRS and CA Department of Justice.
Any applying Charities must have a valid 501(c)(3) status
with the IRS and must be in good standing with the Registry
of Charitable Trusts to operate or to solicit for charitable
purposes in California. A registration that is delinquent,
suspended or revoked is not in good standing. (Gov. Code, §
12599.6, subd. (f)(1); Cal. Code Regs., tit 11, §999.9.4.)
A charity that is not in compliance with the registration and
reporting requirements listed above will not be an eligible
charity to participate in Our Promise: California State Employees
Giving at Work Campaign.
