Grant Programs

As a grantmaking organisation, you may run various grant programs for different grant giving purposes. For example, your organisation may run a Cultural Diversity Grants program along with an Environmental Grants program.

In SmartyGrants, you create a program for each. A program acts like a folder containing all of the program's Applications, Rounds, Forms, Tasks and so on.

Sorting Programs

In SmartyGrants, you can sort your programs by using the arrows in the title bar to adjust your preferences, program names are sorted in alphabetical order. The up arrow indicates a sort ascending versus the down arrow with represents a sort descending.

The arrows become purple to indicate which is the active sort occurring on the screen.

Example grants program:

Your organisation runs a grants program called the Environmental Grants Program. The program has:

• An application form,

• An internal eligibility check form,

• An assessment form to be completed by a panel of external assessors, and

• A grant acquittal form

The program is open for applications twice a year:

• March,

• October.

At the end of March and October, you process applications according to a documented process:

• Assess applications,

• Notify applicants of outcomes,

• Organise contracts and payments, and

• Acquit grants.

In SmartyGrants, you create a grant program called Environmental Grants Program. All of the above (Forms, dates, and processes) are stored in that program.
