What is an appropriate request amount?
Requests are not limited to a maximum amount. However, the amount should be based on the program's budget, existing organizational resources, and the forecast for additional funding. After reviewing the completed funding proposal, the Cymer Corporate Giving Committee may decide to fund part, all, or none of a program's expenses.

What are the form 1023 or 1024 tax exemption applications?
These forms are the applications that your organization submitted to the IRS in order to apply for tax exempt status. The IRS has granted non-profit status based on the purposes outlined in the mission statement of this application.

What if I cannot find certain documents required for submission?
All required documentation must be submitted in order for Cymer to consider the proposal.

Will attachments submitted be returned to our organization?
No. All materials submitted (including videos, DVDs, CDs and brochures) will not be returned to your organization.

Can our organization re-apply for funding in a different program or event within four months of submission?
No. Each organization may only submit one proposal every four months. If you would like to request funds for multiple programs, please submit all requests at the same time. The Corporate Giving Committee will then make a funding decision for the organization based on all the information presented.

Will someone contact me when the application is received?
No. Cymer will notify you via mail of the committee's decision within three weeks of the monthly meeting.
