Workplace Giving Eligibility
Membership in Mental Health and Addiction Network (MHANe) is open to 501(c)(3) organizations that:
- provide any of a wide variety of services within the field of mental health (see About Us), and
- meet the eligibility requirements for participation in the CFC.
Eligibility Requirements
Only charities meeting specific tests of fiscal accountability, governance, and programmatic impact may participate in the Combined Federal Campaign. To participate, an organization must:
- Be 501(c)(3) tax exempt
- Provide services in at least 15 states or at least one foreign country
- Account for funds on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
- Commission a full-scale audit by an independent certified public accountant; the audit must be prepared using generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) or international equivalents
- File an accrual-basis Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service (unless IRS rules do not require the organization to file)
- Be governed by an active and responsible board whose members have no material conflict of interest and a majority of whom serve without compensation
If after reviewing the eligibility requirements above, you think your organization may qualify for membership, you may initiate the process by sending us complete copies of the following three documents:
- your most recent IRS Form 990
- the IRS letter granting your organization nonprofit status
- your most recent audited financial statements
Or simply contact MHANe if it would be helpful to discuss eligibility or any other aspect of MHANe membership.
