How to Find Grant Programs
There are several ways potential applicants can discover grant programs, but each way depends on how the organization has set up these programs. These include:
You use a direct link to access the application.
You can begin applying for a program by accessing it through a unique URL that is shared with you by the organization. This may be shared through direct communications, websites, marketing materials, or other means. It may also be available in CSRconnect.
For reference, this link is formatted as https://apply.yourcausegrants.com/apply/programs/[code].
Note: You will be required to create an account and sign in to GrantsConnect. For more information, see the Create Your Account resource.
You are invited to apply for the program.
You may be invited to apply for a grant through an email invitation sent by the organization. Click on the Go to Invitation button to open the application in the Applicant Portal and apply.
Note: You will be required to create an account and sign in to GrantsConnect. For more information, see the Create Your Account resource.
You are nominated to apply for the program.
Another individual may nominate you for a grant. You will receive an email notifying you of the nomination. Click on the Get Started button to open the application in the Applicant Portal and apply.
Note: You will be required to create an account and sign in to GrantsConnect. For more information, see the Create Your Account resource.
