When you register on TDF Grants Manager, you will be asked to enter your organization’s “Legal Name” and “Operating Name.” An organization’s legal name is the name listed on your Articles of Incorporation, filed with the Secretary of State. If your organization conducts business using a trade name or a Doing Business As (DBA) name, that is your organization’s operating name. If your organization has not filed a trade name or DBA with the Secretary of State, your organization’s operating name is the same as your legal name.
