About the Application Form

between pages, forward or back, your form responses are committed to a secure area within your browser’s local
storage. You can close your browser and resume your progress automatically at any time simply by opening theform again. This information is only sent to our servers once you submit the form.

Why do I have to complete each page before moving on to the next one, instead of working on pages
out of sequence?

The Web form is dynamic, meaning that the answers on each page can determine which questions come next.
The form needs to be completed in sequence to maintain the flow of questions and answers.

Can I cut and paste from other documents?

Why are there so many questions on the form?

Since we make our funding decisions responsibly, we require specific information regarding the submittingorganizations, the initiatives proposed and the community benefits of these programs and events. That said, wegenerally require less information for smaller requests than for larger ones.

I have all this information in a single document. Why can't I attach it or just send it in as my proposal?
Because of the volume of requests we receive, it’s essential that each proposal is in a consistent format that ourteam can review as efficiently as possible. If we require more information or your prepared materials, we’ll
contact you after our preliminary review of your application.

What are the best ways to answer the questions?

Keep your answers concise (generally no more than 150-200 words). Include the most important points about
your plans, the community benefits and how things will change as a result of your work. Remember to tell us why
you think our company is a good fit with your organization and how our funding will benefit both the communityand our company. If we require further information, we’ll contact you after a preliminary review.

What if I have questions about eligibility? Can I use the “Contact Us” form?

The “Help” link at the bottom of the form is for technical support only. Benevity agents are unable to answer
questions about eligibility. The form will typically display a notice if you’re not eligible based on the answers youprovide. If you don’t get a notice like this, then you’re eligible! For specific program questions, please reach out toGlobal.CorporateGiving@onsemi.com.
