Online Application Tips

If you are a first-time applicant you will need to complete the online registration. You will go to “Application Overview and select “online registration” or directly by choosing “Online Application from the Application drop-down menu.

To create an online registration you will need to provide an email address and a password. Please store this information in a safe place. You will need this information to continue to log in to your application account. The provided email address will be used for application-related communication, so be sure to use an email address that you monitor on a regular basis.

Once you have completed your online registration you can then begin your application. You will need to enter your Organization Information, Contact Information, Request Information, and provide your attachments to complete your new application. Be sure to click ‘save and finish later’ before exiting the online application program, if the application is unfinished.

If you are a returning applicant organization — you have submitted a grant application to us in the past — you will need to use the Online Registration link:

1. Enter the e-mail address and password that you used for your previous grant application (if you have problems logging in, please refer to Login Issues tip on this page.)
2. Enter your Organization’s Tax Identification Number (TIN), then select login.

Once you have entered the above information you can then begin your new application. You will need to enter your Organization Information, Contact Information, Request Information and provide your attachments to complete your new application. Be sure to click ‘save and finish later’ before exiting the online application program, if the application is unfinished.

To resume work on a saved application, please log into your account by going to Online Application and selecting Account Login. You may also use the link at the bottom of this section to go to the Account Login. If you are having login issues, please review Login Issues on the Online Application Tips page for assistance.

Once you are logged into your account you can see a list of your applications. Click on the name of the application that you would like to resume work on and then enter your organization's Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Remember, be sure to click ‘save and finish later’ before exiting the online application program, if the application is unfinished.

Go To Account Login

If you are unable to remember your password you may reset the password by clicking on "Forgot Password?". Forgot password is located in small letters under that area where you enter the password.

When you click on forgot password an email will be sent to the email address that was used when you created your account with instructions on how to create a new password. If you are unable to reset your password yourself we can reset your password manually.

Every field must contain a document that needs to be properly attached and labeled. Once you upload your attachment, be sure to choose the document label from the dropdown menu beside the document link. The menu looks like an open window with a carat. This step labels your document in a way our grantmaking software recognizes. The system will not recognize your document any other way. If you have gotten to the review section of your application and realized a problem you will have to go back to the attachments page to make your edits. Again, each field must have a document filed in order to be a complete application.

Sometimes required information may be missing or outdated. In that case, provide what you have at the time of submission with a note explaining what is missing and its expected receipt. When it becomes available submit the updated replacement document to our email address. Be sure to note which organization and grant deadline it is for.
