Navigating the Application Form

  • Each page of the application contains a Form Navigation box, which links directly to all sections. You can jump to any page by clicking the relevant link.

  • You can also move through the form using the ‘Next Page’ and ‘Previous Page’ buttons located at the top and bottom of each screen.

Saving Your Draft Application

If you need to leave the form and return later:

  1. Click ‘Save and Close’

  2. Log out of SmartyGrants

  3. When you log back in, select ‘My Submissions’ at the top of the screen. You will see any drafts you have started or applications you have submitted.

  4. Reopen your draft to continue where you left off.

You can also download your draft or completed application at any time as a PDF by clicking ‘Download PDF’ at the bottom of the final page of the form.

Submitting Your Application

  • A Review and Submit button appears at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You must review your application before submission.

  • Once all mandatory questions are completed and there are no validation errors, you may submit using the ‘Submit’ button at the top or bottom of the form.

  • After submission, no further edits or uploads can be made.

You will receive a confirmation email with a PDF copy of your application attached. This will be sent to the email address linked to your SmartyGrants account.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, it is likely your application has not been submitted. Please also check your spam or junk folder.

You may be required to upload additional documents to support your application.

  • Ensure your files are saved on your computer or storage device.

  • Allow time for each file to fully upload before attaching another.

  • Files can be up to 25MB, though we recommend keeping them under 5MB for faster uploads.
