You may want to use the Charity Check submission form field if you need to validate that submissions are valid charities or nonprofits. This may be helpful for customers who use OpenWater for grant applications.

To utilize Charity Check, please contact your Support Representative to active the feature on your instance. This feature is at no cost for programs that do not exceed 1000 submissions. If a single program exceeds this number, fees may apply.

Once the feature is activated, you can add this field in your submission form by choosing Charity Check from the left side panel of the form builder.

Complete the field label and the field details as required.

Once you have finished with your form edits, save and access your submission form.

Set the field to Required to ensure that users submit a valid EIN number.
