Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my organization is eligible to receive support?

A: To request a charitable donation, your organization must be a federally tax-exempt, section 501(c)(3) charitable organization, school, library or public agency. Only organizations that are verified with a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service, will be considered.

Q: My 501(c)(3) has a pending status; can I still receive a donation?

A: Jo-Ann does not assist any organization with a pending 501(c)(3) status.

Q: When are donation requests accepted?

A: Requests are accepted all year and reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the beginning of each month.
