Access SmartySkills
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
and 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
Acquit grants
In SmartyGrants, you create a Grant Program called Environmental Grants Program. All of the above Forms, dates, and processes are stored here.
