ONLINE GRANT PROCESS
How it works
A grant applicant creates an account in the Online Grants Management System, and then logs on to that account to start a new grant application. The system allows an application to be saved as a draft. This draft can be worked on and edited numerous times before submitting the final application for review.
Each account maintains a record of the application history that the applicant can access at any time.
Once a grant is awarded, the system allows grantees an easy way to see the status of their grant, check due dates, and submit electronic grant reports directly from their account.
Grant Notification
When the determination process has been completed, all applicants will be advised of their proposal results. This may take 2-3 months from the deadline. A grant agreement will be included in the notification to grant recipients.
Grant Reporting
Organizations receiving a grant have the responsibility of reporting on the use of the funds using the follow up Grant Report via our online grant management system.
