The amendment modifies the Standard Forms and Supporting Documentation – Organizational Documentation section of the NOFO (Section D.2.g) to state that non-profit organizations may submit articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of good standing, or a copy of the most recent IRS Form 990 in order to demonstrate their status as a non-profit organization. Previously, the NOFO stated that the non-profit organization must submit these documents, suggesting that all are required. Non-profit organizations only need to submit one of these documents to demonstrate their status. Issues Obtaining a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) to Submit a Thriving Communities Program NOFO Application? Some potential Capacity Builder applicants have experienced issues or delays in obtaining a UEI <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGx ldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMjIuNjcwOTgyODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NhbS5nb3YvY29udGVudC9ob21lIn0.bu4jya5Dnfjmd1GaOBU8eXAI8v-txodRhWB_uScA44E/s/1828372675/br/148781303459-l> . Due to these issues, DOT has determined that it is permissible for the lead applicant to apply without a valid UEI. However, the applicant must have a valid UEI before final selection and Federal award administration. Therefore, DOT recommends that NOFO applicants obtain a valid UEI as soon as possible. As a reminder, communities submitting a Letter of Interest (LOI) to receive support through the Thriving Communities Program do not need a UEI to apply.
