Please be advised that due to a system upgrade this summer, we are not requiring grant reports this year, with some exceptions. If you do not see a grant report form in your online account, a grant report is not required.

In addition, when we upgrade our system in August, all of your submitted and historical grant applications and submitted grant reports in your online account will not be copied over to the new portal. Therefore, if you would like to retain copies of your historical grant submissions and reports please save them locally to your computer by August 15, 2025. The current portal will not be available after Aug 31, 2025.

This will ensure that you receive communication emails from our system related to MFA, password resets, and grant determination emails: mail@grantapplication.com. This is a no-reply email address.
