- Nomination date: Day of nomination
- Registration date: Date on which an account was created (not completed) on förderprogramme.org
- Status:
- In Clarification (HdS): We are currently checking whether the NPO already has a profile on förderprogramme.org. This usually happens automatically and takes up to 24 hours. In rare cases, it may take a little longer due to uncertainties in the matching process.
- Not Registered (NPO): The NPO has not yet initiated the registration on förderprogramme.org or no matching account could be assigned.
- In Bearbeitung (in progress): The NPO has initiated registration on förderprogramme.org but has not yet completed its profile. In most cases, the registration steps of bank details, notice of exemption and organization description are missing. Once all data has been submitted, validation takes a maximum of 5 working days.
- Qualified (NPO): The NPO has submitted all information completely and correctly and has been validated by Haus des Stiftens - validation is therefore already complete. It may take up to 24 hours until a qualified NPO is synchronized with the Localgrants platform. The NPO can then participate in Amazon Local Grants program and submit a project on the platform.
- Inactive: The NPO nomination has been archived because it is an NPO
- which is exclusively committed to the promotion of religion (statutory purpose 2) or animal welfare (statutory purpose 14)
- which wanted to be manually removed from the donation program or which an Ambassador wanted to have removed from the program
- which was nominated twice in a row
- which does not meet the non-profit criteria (i.e. could not provide a valid exemption certificate)
- which was removed from the donation program after 28 or 56 days within the deletion routine implemented until September 1st, 2024.
If your nominated NPO has any questions, please refer them to our NPO support - it is important that the NPO contacts us themselves:
- Phone: +49 (0) 22 41 / 14 64 08 - 10
- E-mail: foerderprogramme@hausdesstiftens.org
