Digital Inclusion Intern

We have financial statements and 990 Reports that have been completed each year by our Treasurer/CPA. However, the cost for audited financial statements ranges between $5,000 and $7,000 which has been prohibitive for a small agency such as ours. We do not have audited financial statements. Does this disqualify us from consideration for this funding opportunity?

It should not disqualify you but please be sure to state this in your response. Please submit any of your latest audited financials as requested in the RFP. (*Please refer to page 7 of the financial statements description in Attachment A.)

Do we have to already have a SAMs number in order to submit the application on January 15th or would you accept our application with a SAM number pending/being processed?

The SAM’s number will be required and requested if and when organizations are awarded contracts. Please be aware that pending is okay but no award will be made until you have the SAM’s number.
