The requesting entity must meet the following criteria:

  2. If the organization has been awarded a grant in the last five years, such organization must be located West of the Mississippi or in the States of Minnesota and Louisiana, effective 2002, and spend any awarded grant funds within this geographic area. This geographic area includes the States of Alaska and Hawaii.

         a) State of incorporation must be either Nebraska or Arizona
         b) The physical offices must be located within either Nebraska or Arizona
         c) Any awarded grant funds must be spent within either Nebraska or Arizona

  4. Be able to furnish a copy of an IRS Determination Letter which addresses the organization's non-profit status under Internal Revenue Code 501 (c) (3) and its foundation status under IRS Code 509 (a). State documents and letters from attorneys pertaining to the aforementioned are unacceptable.
