My Entities

An entity is the individual, business, organization or institution with whom you have interacted and need to declare your activities.

• Provide the name of the entity, the street address, city, state/province and country.
• Classify the type of entity as: Higher Ed Institution, Federal, State/Local, Home Business, Publicly or Privately Traded, Professional Society or Other.
• Classify the type of entity as: For-Profit, Non-Profit or Gift Source
• Check the "This Entity is currently active" box to make this entity available for use in disclosures.

NOTE: the entities you have interacted with in the past will be available to you. Because of the way this information was previously collected you will need to edit each record, at a minimum correcting the Entity Title and placing each into its appropriate type and category. Check the "This entity is currently active" box. Leaving it unchecked will leave the entity unavailable for disclosure reporting.
