Q: Should I Get My EIN First?
Nooo! Granted: the EIN, or FEIN, stands for "Federal Employer Identification Number" or EIN for short.
And you might say you won't need one, because you don't plan on hiring any staff or paying any employees...but that doesn't matter to the IRS or to potential funders. They insist you get one.
In my opinion, they REALLY should call them "Company Federal Identification Number" or CFIN instead, just for that reason: in order to file for tax-exempt status, you need to have an EIN. And in order to obtain grant funding, you'll need to show funders your EIN, because it helps to prove you have obtained tax-exempt status! So just go with it, okay?
