Accounts
Registration
Each organization may register a single account. Registration requires is an email, password, and your organization's name.
The email you choose is for account purposes; you will have an opportunity to put a specific contact person on each grant application you submit. Choose an email that you expect to have access to in future years and that could be used to log in by multiple staff members as needed.
Lost password
If you've forgotten your password, you can
reset it. You'll need to enter the email that was used to register your organization - a link to continue the reset process will be sent to that address.
Forgotten email/login
If you forgot or no longer have access to the email used to register your organization, please contact us to have the email on your account updated.
Using the online grant application

- Click the link on an open cycle to see more details about that cycle. Hit continue to begin filling out the form.
- Progress on applications is automatically saved every 30 seconds - see the "last saved" text at the top of the page. You can close the window and find it later under "saved drafts" on your home page.

See the sections below for more details on any part of the application process. If you have a question that is not answered, contact us.
Draft autosave
Files are automatically saved to your draft when they are uploaded. When the link appears next to the file field, that indicates that the file has been stored. All other fields are saved every 30 seconds. The "last saved" text at the top of the screen shows when the last autosave occurred or if there was an error.
You can access your saved drafts on your home page.
Tools - Copy/rollover
This tool allows you to copy an existing draft or submitted application into another grant cycle.
- The draft/application being copied is not affected
- Everything is copied except for the additional cycle-specific narrative question, if applicable
- The new copy will be created as a draft so you'll be free to change/delete it
- You can not copy into a cycle that you already submitted to, or that you have a draft in progress for. If you want to replace that draft, discard it and then do the rollover

Warning: simultaneous editing
A grant application draft should only be edited by one person at a time. Multiple users editing an application at the same time will result in changes being overwritten and lost.
To prevent this from happening accidentally, we implemented a confirmation window any time there is a risk of overwrite.
Seeing this warning does not necessarily mean someone else is using your login. You may have left the page open in another tab, browser, or on another computer.
Error message: file type not supported
The following file types are supported:
doc/docx, xls/xlsx, ppt/pptx, pdf, txt, jpeg/jpg, png, gif, bmp
If you saw this error despite using one of those types, or if you believe a file type should be added to that list, please contact us.
Error message: request timeout
A timeout error generally means that the server is temporarily overloaded and could not handle the request. If you see this message, wait a minute or two and try again. If you continue to get this message,
file a bug report.
