This Nonprofit Tax-Exempt Status Documentation Request Form gives your supporters a clear, organized way to request 501(c)(3) verification letters, your EIN, IRS determination letters, and other compliance documents—without the back-and-forth of email chains.

Conditional logic shows relevant follow-up questions based on the documentation type requested, ensuring you gather complete information the first time.

Use this form on your website's donor resources page, in grant application materials, or as part of your year-end giving campaign. With Paperform's professional design options, you can match your nonprofit's branding while keeping the process simple and accessible for requesters.
