Applications

Find a grant that matches your needs, click "Apply Now," and follow the application prompts. Some applications are completed directly on GrantBridge, while others direct you to the funder's application portal.

Absolutely! We encourage you to apply for multiple grants. In fact, successful organizations typically have multiple funding sources. Just be sure to manage your applications carefully and track deadlines.

After submission, you'll receive a confirmation email. Your application will be reviewed by the funder according to their timeline. You can track the status of your applications in your GrantBridge dashboard.

Review timelines vary by funder. Government grants typically take 2-6 months, while foundation grants may take 1-3 months. Each grant posting includes the expected review timeline.

In most cases, you cannot edit an application after submission. However, some funders allow revisions within a specific timeframe. Check with the funder directly if you need to make changes.

Eligibility

Eligibility varies by grant. Some are open to nonprofits, others to small businesses, educational institutions, or individuals. Use our filters to find grants you're eligible for, and each grant details specific requirements.

Some grants have age requirements, particularly scholarships and youth-focused programs. We clearly indicate any age restrictions in the grant details. Most organizational grants don't have age limits.

Some grants are available to international organizations, while others are restricted to US-based entities. Use our country/region filter to find grants available to your organization.

A previous rejection doesn't prevent future applications. Many successful grant recipients were rejected initially. Use feedback to strengthen your next application and consider reapplying in the following funding cycle.

Some grants require a business plan, while others don't. Business grants typically require more detailed planning documentation, while smaller grants may only need a brief project description.

Funding & Payments

Disbursement methods vary by funder. Some provide lump sum payments, others disburse in installments. Details are provided in the grant agreement. Most payments are made via direct deposit or check.

Tax treatment depends on your organization type and how funds are used. Nonprofits typically receive grants tax-free, but business grants may be taxable. Consult your accountant for specific guidance.

Most grants have restrictions on how funds can be used. The grant agreement specifies allowed uses. Always use funds strictly according to the funder's requirements and guidelines.

Unused grant funds must typically be returned to the funder. Some funders allow reallocation to other approved project expenses. Contact the funder before changing how funds are used.
