How often should I save my work?
You should save your work often to prevent data loss. If you make corrections be sure to click “Save Application” to ensure the most current changes are saved.
I need to make a change to my project budget and/or board list and I have already uploaded the document to the application, how can I change it?
If you upload any document and discover that it is the wrong item or you need to make changes do the following. Make the corrections to the document on your computer and SAVE. In the grant application site, click on the browse button associated with the uploaded item and upload the new document. Click “Save Application”.
How can I see what my application looks like?
If you are in the application system and are either working on the application or have submitted it, click on the “Application Packet” icon on your screen. This will allow you to see exactly what your completed application will look like, including any documents you have uploaded. You will have the choice to either view it or print a hard copy for your records.

Can a state-supported educational institution or government entity apply for a grant even though it is not a 501(c)3 organization?
