To be eligible for NAP credits, an applicant must:
1) Be an Indiana Non-Profit organization in good standing with the Indiana Secretary of State. (https://bsd.sos.in.gov/publicbusinesssearch)
2) Have received a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service of the United States Department of the Treasury under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)3
3) Have received a ruling of tax exemption from the Indiana Department of Revenue under IC 6-2.5-5-21.
4) Agree not to use funds raised from distributing NAP to support inherently religious activities such as worship, religious instruction or promoting religious beliefs as a part of program services. If an organization conducts religious activities, the activities must be offered separately in another time or location form the program supported by NAP funds. Clients must not be discriminated against based on religious belief or be required to attend or participate in religious activities to receive NAP-funded services.

This means that the applicant must have distributed 60% of their credits by December 31st, 100% of their credits by March 31st, and met reporting deadlines for both. If an agency received 2021 credits and failed to meet one of the benchmark reporting deadlines, they may still apply but ONLY up to the maximum credit amount allowed for new agencies.
6) Have met the last closeout reporting deadline, if the applicant received NAP credits two program rounds ago; in this case, the 2020-2021 program round, which had a September 2021 closeout report deadline. If an agency received 2020 credits and failed to submit the 2020 Closeout Report on time, they may still apply but ONLY up to the maximum credit amount allowed for new agencies.
7) Provide a NAP-eligible service, as detailed in the following sections.
