International Development Fund for Social Benefit Assistance (\"IDF-SBA\")<\/strong> publishes information about its own grants, in-kind support, memberships, technology and professional services, as well as independent funding and resource opportunities offered by third parties. This page explains how to understand the funding, approval-rate, program-value and third-party opportunity claims appearing on IDFSBA.com and in IDF-SBA communications.<\/p>\n\n

\n

IMPORTANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

IDF-SBA is an independent private organization. It is not a government agency, government-sponsored program or government funding portal<\/strong>. Unless a specific page expressly states otherwise, an IDF-SBA grant may consist of products, services, technology, credits, discounts or other in-kind support and is not necessarily a cash award.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

1. Independent Private Organization<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA is an independent private organization. IDF-SBA is not a government agency, does not operate as an agency of the United States or any state, local or foreign government, and is not a government-sponsored program.<\/p>\n

References to nonprofit grants, assistance, funding support, stimulus, programs, applications, approvals or awards describe IDF-SBA programs or independent third-party opportunities. They should not be interpreted as government funding unless the specific opportunity is expressly identified as a government program and links to the applicable government source.<\/p>\n\n

2. \"$300 Million in Grants & Support Capacity\"<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA's statement that it has committed up to $300 million in nonprofit grants and support capacity through December 2027 describes the current maximum aggregate 2026\u20132027 program-capacity ceiling. The calculation is based on planned maximum reach of up to 20,000 organizations multiplied by the current YES Grant maximum of up to $15,000 in first-year in-kind support per organization.<\/p>\n

The $300 million figure is not a representation that IDF-SBA is holding $300 million in cash, that $300 million will necessarily be awarded or utilized, or that any particular organization will receive the maximum. Actual aggregate support will depend on eligible participation, award composition, available resources, production and support capacity, hard-cost budget, fulfillment, program continuation and utilization.<\/p>\n

Only actual grant-valued resources with an established Regular\/standalone price or another defensible normal value count toward an official YES Grant value. Free-public or universally free verified-nonprofit resources are not assigned invented grant value merely to increase an award or aggregate-capacity total.<\/p>\n\n

3. \"Up to 20,000 Organizations\"<\/h2>\n

The statement that up to 20,000 organizations may receive support<\/strong> describes IDF-SBA's planned maximum organizational reach for the applicable 2026\u20132027 program period. It is a capacity target, not a promise that exactly 20,000 organizations will apply, qualify or receive assistance.<\/p>\n

The actual number served may be lower and will depend on participation, eligibility, verification, available resources, program utilization and other operational factors.<\/p>\n\n

4. \"Up to $15,000 in First-Year YES In-Kind Support\"<\/h2>\n

The statement that an eligible organization may receive up to $15,000 in first-year YES Grant in-kind support refers to the combined official value of the grant-valued IDF-SBA products, services, technology resources, media resources, professional services, credits or other in-kind benefits actually awarded to that organization.<\/p>\n

\"Up to\" is a maximum, not a standard, average, minimum or guaranteed award. An award may include one resource or several resources, and an organization may receive substantially less than the maximum. Unless an offer specifically says \"cash,\" a stated grant value should not be interpreted as money payable directly to the organization.<\/p>\n

The basic NPO Mini-Site and other resources that are universally available at $0 to verified nonprofits do not receive invented YES Grant value and are not counted toward the $15,000 maximum merely because an award recipient can also use them.<\/p>\n\n

5. How In-Kind Support Is Valued<\/h2>\n

The official value of a YES Grant is based on the combined established Regular price, normal standalone price or other defensible normal value of the grant-valued resources actually awarded.<\/p>\n

Member or PLUS discount pricing does not reduce the recorded grant value of an awarded resource. Conversely, IDF-SBA does not invent a monetary value for a free-public or universally free verified-nonprofit feature solely to increase an award total.<\/p>\n

In-kind value describes the economic value of the awarded resource and does not create a right to receive the stated value in cash. A recipient generally may not exchange an in-kind award for cash unless the specific program expressly permits it.<\/p>\n

Discounted resources and general savings are distinct from grants unless IDF-SBA expressly identifies a defined grant-valued resource as part of an award.<\/p>\n\n

6. 98% Approval Rate<\/h2>\n

As of August 2026, IDF-SBA publishes a 98% approval rate for eligible organizations in connection with the current YES Grant program.<\/p>\n

The YES Grant is designed around a presumption of approval for eligible verified organizations. IDF-SBA should approve an otherwise eligible organization unless there is a clear reason to deny or restrict the award.<\/p>\n

The 98% figure is a reflective operating and marketing metric, not a quota, target, ceiling or instruction to deny otherwise approvable organizations. It does not mean that 98% of every raw, incomplete, duplicate, withdrawn or ineligible submission is approved.<\/p>\n

The published rate may change as actual operating results change. It is not a guarantee or forecast of approval for any particular applicant.<\/p>\n\n

7. YES Grant<\/h2>\n

The IDF-SBA YES Grant is an in-kind grant program for eligible nonprofit organizations. The current 2026 cycle is focused on verified U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations and is scheduled for August 1 through November 30, 2026, subject to current program rules and available capacity.<\/p>\n

An award may include one or more products, services, technology resources, media resources, professional services, credits or other defined in-kind benefits. An award is not necessarily cash, and not every approved organization receives every benefit displayed or described on the Site.<\/p>\n

The standard administrative YES Grant award period is 12 months from the date the organization accepts the award. Individual awarded resources may have shorter or one-time durations. For example, a six-month resource remains six months even though the overall grant record remains open for its 12-month award period.<\/p>\n

The basic NPO Mini-Site is available at $0 to verified nonprofits whether or not they receive a YES Grant. It may be part of the participant experience, but because it is universally free to verified nonprofits it is not assigned invented YES Grant value.<\/p>\n\n

8. $0 Application and No Purchase Requirement<\/h2>\n

There is no application fee to apply for the IDF-SBA YES Grant<\/strong>. A nonprofit does not have to purchase a product, hire IDF-SBA, or become an IDF-SBA member in order to submit a YES Grant application.<\/p>\n

Purchasing a membership, service or product does not determine YES Grant approval and does not purchase preferential treatment in the YES Grant decision process.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA may separately offer memberships, professional services, technology, training, resources or other paid products to organizations, including grant applicants and recipients. Those offers are separate from the right to apply for the YES Grant.<\/p>\n\n

9. Eligibility, Verification and Availability<\/h2>\n

Every IDF-SBA program may establish its own eligibility requirements. Requirements may include nonprofit or tax-exempt status, geography, organization type, program purpose, documentation, operational status, organization or contact information, organizational verification, application completeness, capacity or other reasonable program criteria.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA may verify information using documents supplied by an applicant, publicly available records or lawful third-party sources. An organization may be asked for additional information before an application is complete, approved or fulfilled.<\/p>\n

For the current YES Grant, IDF-SBA uses a presumption of approval for eligible verified organizations. An otherwise eligible organization should be approved unless there is a clear reason to deny or restrict the award. Resource allocation may still be limited or throttled by available products, service capacity, technology, budget, staffing, hard costs, cycle dates, production turnaround or other finite resources.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA may deny, suspend, cancel or revoke a benefit where information is inaccurate, incomplete, fraudulent, unverifiable, duplicated, submitted without proper organizational authority or otherwise inconsistent with applicable program rules.<\/p>\n\n

10. Third-Party Grants, CCFPs and Resource Opportunities<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA may publish articles, directories, training, recommendations or alerts concerning independent grants, Corporate Community Funding Programs (CCFPs)<\/strong>, software programs, donated products, discounts, local community support and other opportunities offered by companies, foundations, government entities or other organizations.<\/p>\n

Unless a page expressly states that IDF-SBA is the grantmaker, administrator or authorized partner for a particular opportunity, IDF-SBA does not control the third-party program<\/strong>. Eligibility, deadlines, geographic restrictions, available awards, approval decisions, fulfillment, terms and continued availability are determined by the applicable third-party provider.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA may summarize a third-party opportunity for convenience, but applicants should review the provider's current official information before applying. A provider may change, pause, replace or discontinue a program without notice to IDF-SBA.<\/p>\n

If IDF-SBA has a referral, reseller, affiliate, fulfillment or other material commercial relationship related to a third-party offer, IDF-SBA will provide an appropriate disclosure where the relationship would reasonably be material to the user's evaluation of the recommendation or offer.<\/p>\n\n

11. No Guarantee of Third-Party Funding or Results<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA may publish broadly shared funding information, explain general program requirements, provide funding-readiness education and tools, and help organizations improve the quality, organization and presentation of their own materials. IDF-SBA cannot guarantee approval, funding, an award amount or a decision timeline from an independent third-party funder or provider.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA does not identify specific funders for an individual organization, prepare or submit specific funding applications on an organization's behalf, write individualized fundraising solicitations or pitches, solicit charitable contributions on behalf of an organization, or act as an outside fundraising representative.<\/p>\n

Examples, case studies, prior awards, reported wins and historical approval experiences describe past or individual results and do not guarantee that another organization will receive the same result.<\/p>\n

Where a third-party program uses language such as \"up to,\" establishes discretionary awards or limits assistance based on available funds or supplies, those limitations remain applicable regardless of any IDF-SBA education, membership, technology or professional assistance.<\/p>\n\n

12. Membership, Paid Services and Funding Decisions<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA membership may provide access to resources, discounts, training, tools, member opportunities or other benefits described for the applicable membership level. IDF-SBA may also offer paid \"done with you\" or \"done for you\" services intended to improve organizational presentation, operations or funding readiness.<\/p>\n

Membership or the purchase of IDF-SBA services does not guarantee third-party funding and does not cause an independent funder to approve an application.<\/strong> IDF-SBA does not sell guaranteed grant approvals.<\/p>\n

Paid assistance may improve the quality, completeness, organization, presentation or readiness of an organization's materials, but final decisions remain with the applicable funder or program administrator.<\/p>\n

Unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise, IDF-SBA does not take custody or control of charitable contributions or third-party grant funds on behalf of a participating organization.<\/p>\n\n

13. Media, Company Names, Logos and Trademarks<\/h2>\n

Media names or logos appearing in an \"As Seen On,\" media-history or similar presentation identify media outlets in which IDF-SBA, its work or its leadership has appeared, been covered, interviewed, featured or otherwise presented. Such display does not by itself mean that the media outlet currently sponsors, endorses, funds or is affiliated with IDF-SBA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Names, logos, trademarks and program names of companies or third-party organizations may be used for identification, commentary, education, news, comparison or to describe an opportunity. They remain the property of their respective owners.<\/p>\n

Reference to a company such as Walmart, Target, Microsoft, Google or another provider does not mean that company sponsors or endorses IDF-SBA unless an express partnership or sponsorship is specifically identified.<\/p>\n\n

14. Use of the Term \"Stimulus\"<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA may use terms such as \"financial stimulus,\" \"nonprofit stimulus\" or \"stimulus programs\"<\/strong> to describe private efforts intended to reduce operating costs, provide resources, increase funding readiness or otherwise strengthen organizations economically.<\/p>\n

When used by IDF-SBA, the term \"stimulus\" is descriptive and does not<\/strong> mean that the program is a federal, state, local or foreign-government economic-stimulus program unless the specific opportunity is expressly identified as such.<\/p>\n\n

15. Dates, Deadlines and Changing Program Information<\/h2>\n

Grant cycles, deadlines, benefit values, eligibility rules, third-party offers and other program details may change. Dates published on a specific current program page control over older articles, social posts, videos, downloadable resources or archived information when there is a conflict.<\/p>\n

For the current YES Grant, IDF-SBA's decision target is within 30 days after a complete application is received. An offered award normally must be accepted within 30 days after the offer date, and awarded resources normally require activation or intake within 30 days after acceptance unless the specific resource states otherwise. The standard administrative award period is 12 months from acceptance.<\/p>\n

IDF-SBA may extend, shorten, pause, replace or discontinue an IDF-SBA program when reasonably necessary because of capacity, availability, operational requirements, legal requirements or changes to the underlying product or service.<\/p>\n

For third-party opportunities, the provider's current official terms control.<\/p>\n\n

16. Tax, Legal and Accounting Considerations<\/h2>\n

Receipt of a grant, product, service, discount, credit or other benefit may have accounting, reporting, tax, charitable-registration or other consequences depending on the organization and jurisdiction. IDF-SBA does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice through general Site content.<\/p>\n

Organizations are responsible for maintaining appropriate records and obtaining professional advice when needed.<\/p>\n\n

17. Corrections and Questions<\/h2>\n

IDF-SBA makes reasonable efforts to keep program information accurate and current. If you believe a funding claim, program description, third-party opportunity, valuation or disclosure is inaccurate or outdated, please notify us so it can be reviewed.<\/p>\n

Questions about these disclosures may be submitted through the Contact<\/a> page.<\/p>\n
