Complete this form only if all of the following are true
- You have received a Notice of Intent to Award from CAP Contract Alliance with a confirmed award number (format ACAIG2026-C##). Use that number on everything you send.
- Everything you enter matches your legal business name exactly as filed with the California Secretary of State, and your payment account is a business account in that name — not a personal, third-party, or payment-app account.
- The form is completed and submitted by an authorized representative of the business.
- You have all three documents ready — see the list below.
What to submit — three documents
Download the blank forms here, complete them, and upload the completed set through the secure form below. Do not email completed forms — they contain your bank account number.
- Electronic Funds Transfer (ACH) Enrollment form. Tells us where to send your payment. Download the ACH form →
- IRS Form W-9. Required for your 1099 at year end. Download Form W-9 (IRS.gov) →
- Bank account verification. A voided check from your business account with the business name preprinted, or a letter from your bank on bank letterhead showing the account holder name, routing number, and account number. Deposit slips are not accepted — they often show an internal processing number rather than the ACH routing number, and a payment sent there is rejected.
The account must be a business account in your exact legal business name, as filed with the California Secretary of State. Personal accounts, accounts in another name, and payment-app accounts cannot be used.
What happens next
You will receive a confirmation listing what was submitted, along with a tracking reference — retain it. We verify your three documents and call you to confirm the account details before any money moves. Expect that call; it is a normal part of our process, not a red flag.
We then prepare your grant agreement and send it to you separately for electronic signature. Payment is issued by electronic funds transfer after the agreement is fully executed. No funds are disbursed until the grant agreement is signed by both parties. A Form 1099 is issued where required.
Never email completed forms or banking details — upload them through the secure form above. CCA never attaches payment forms to email, and never asks you to change banking details by email or phone. If a message claiming to be from CCA seems off, call 541-668-4117 before acting on it.
