There is an application fee which is paid when a nonprofit submits their application. The fee varies depending on if the nonprofit wants to become accredited or recognized, and what its annual budget is. If it is a member of the Standards for Excellence Institute, or working with a Replication Partner, the fee is discounted.
After the nonprofit meets the requirements, the nonprofit pays an annual licensing fee. The licensing and renewal fee amounts vary based upon accreditation or recognition, membership status, and budget size.
Application fees are paid with submission of your application and cover the application review. Upon accreditation, organizations are licensed to display the Seal of Excellence and are subject to a licensing fee. Members of Maryland Nonprofits, the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, and the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations should check with their respective organizations for fee schedules for nonprofits in their state. Members of the Standards for Excellence Institute and of other Replication Partners receive the member rate listed in the table below.
