Regranting Process, Procedures, and W-9

Submittal of W-9 Prior to Kickoff by all U.S. Based Teams

Every US based team must submit a (W-9) to FIRST Finance annually containing the Federal Tax Identification number of the organization willing to accept any funds on behalf of the team. This is not a State Tax Exempt number.

Please print out the (W-9), have it filled out by the organization that you have chosen to accept any possible funds or grants, and signed and dated by an official of the organization. Include your team number when you fax the W-9 to 603-647-5772 (Attention: FIRST Finance).

Regranting Process, Procedures, and W-9

Some sponsors award grants to FIRST on behalf of a specific team.  When the grant funding provided for the team is to be used during the competition season for expenses, FIRST requires these funds to be requested from the teams and sent to a school or a sponsor who is handling their finances.   In order for FIRST to send funds we must have the payees current W-9 and letter ( View Sample Letter ) requesting the awarded funds. Please note, this letter is not an application for grant funding from FIRST. 

Please take a moment and read the FIRST policy on grant payments to teams.

Letter and W-9 should be mailed to:

FIRST
Attn: Finance
200 Bedford Street
Manchester, NH 03101

Or faxed to 603-647-5772 (Attention: FIRST Finance)
