This application is designed for those who have a group or organization who work on a task or project without salary or wages, would not have a registered Board of Directors, and may not have audited financials to provide.

About the Video: The EDT Pre-screening process allows organizations to pre-submit their application for review by an EDT Administrator for feedback. Applicants are encouraged to submit or e-mail your completed application with all supporting documentation to [email protected] for pre-screening. Administration will review your application for completeness, let you know of errors, and provide feedback before the application deadline. Organizations than have a chance to re-submit their applications before the hard deadline. All incomplete or late applications will not be accepted.
About the video: The pre-screening process is a very important step for applicants. Applications will be reviewed for adherence to the guidelines and not reviewed for merit. An email will be sent to the applicant of any missing documentation and they will have up to the deadline to communicate with Administration. Any incomplete applications at the deadline will not be forwarded for review by the Trustees.
