SURVEY ON ENSURING EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR APPLICANTS
OMB NO. 1890-0014 EXP. 2/28/2009

Purpose: The Federal government is committed to ensuring that all qualified applicants, small or large, non-religious or faithbased, have an equal opportunity to compete for Federal funding. In order for us to better understand the population of applicants
for Federal funds, we are asking nonprofit private organizations (not including private universities) to fill out this survey.
Upon receipt, the survey will be separated from the application. Information provided on the survey will not be considered in any
way in making funding decisions and will not be included in the Federal grants database. While your help in this data collection
process is greatly appreciated, completion of this survey is voluntary.
Instructions for Submitting the Survey: If you are applying using a hard copy application, please place the completed survey in an
envelope labeled “Applicant Survey.” Seal the envelope and include it along with your application package. If you are applying
electronically, please submit this survey along with your application.
