First Time Applicants
Please answer a few questions to see if you qualify for a grant from Ocean State Charities Trust. If you qualify, you will be redirected to our online application website where you can create an account and submit your application online.
Returning Applicants
If you’ve applied for a OSCT grant in the past, please visit our online application website and log into your account.
Please note that along with the agency budget, you may upload either an audit, review, compilation or 990 in the same section.
You do NOT need to email these items separately unless the file size is too large to upload. In that case, please send your file(s) to office@osct.org.
Other Requirements
Online applications will be accepted for Cycle One from February 1st through March 1st. Cycle Two applications will be accepted from August 1st through September 1st.
If you miss the deadline you must wait until the next cycle opens — NO EXCEPTIONS MADE.
OSCT will be able to verify your organization’s 501(c)(3) status online. If we cannot validate your status, we will ask for a copy of your determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, including your Employer Identification Number (EIN).
Your organization’s audit report, review, compilation or 990 for the past fiscal year – or the most recent year available — may be uploaded in the agency budget section of the application. Please note that these items must be completed by an outside independent accounting agency or Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
You will be notified via email if your application is missing any information.
