Online Grant Application

The online grant application portal is currently closed while we are transitioning to a new system. The portal will reopen on January 20, 2026.  

When the grant application portal opens, applicants can:

• Register and create a login.
• Preview application forms and download electronic copies. You may use these to draft your application before submission; however, we will only accept applications submitted through our online system (except for the Neighborhoods Small Grants Program). 
• Access, complete, and submit applications, grant agreements, and reports. 
• View funding decisions, award history, and payment dates.

Grant Application Portal Resources:

To learn more, browse helpful information, and prepare to register and access the portal, please review these resources for applicants.  

What to Expect After You Apply:

Staff Review

Your grant application is reviewed by our Community Impact staff. During this process, a program officer may request more information or conduct a site visit. Your application may be reviewed by a committee of community volunteers, which may impact the decision timeline. 

Applications are reviewed, in part, on the following: 

• Does the proposal align with focus areas and funding priorities?
• Does the proposal include collaboration and cooperation with other organizations when appropriate?
• Are those being served involved in designing or evaluating the program?
• Is there evidence the organization is committed to being/becoming a learning organization, e.g. willing to capture lessons learned and modify programs accordingly?

Decision Timeline

Most applicants will be notified of final funding decisions within three months of the application due date. Organizations may receive full or partial funding, or in some cases, we may decline to fund your project.
