Starting your application form 

Progressing through the form in page order is suggested to reduce missing information and mathematical calculation errors. Please ensure you save as you go.  

To progress forward or backward through the application, click ‘next page’ or ‘previous page’ on the top or bottom of the screen.  

Use the form navigation box on the left-hand side to navigate and move around pages of the application.  

Most importantly, ensure you save your progress at the bottom of each page before proceeding.  

Saving your draft application  

To leave a partially completed application, press ‘save and close’ and log out. You can reopen your draft application later and start where you left off.  

When you log back in and click on the ‘My Submissions’ link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted, where you can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.  

You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form. 

Submitting your application  

You will find a ‘Review and Submit’ button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it. 

Once reviewed, submit your application by clicking on ‘submit’ at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel.  

You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors. The system will point these out to you.  

Once your application is submitted, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible. You will receive a confirmation email, to the email address used to register, with an attached copy of your submitted application.  

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email, and have checked your spam or junk email folder, then presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.

Completing an application as a group or team with SmartyFile  

SmartyFile allows applicants to create an organisation profile to set up multiple team members as users with different access levels, enabling you to collaborate with other team members on SmartyGrants submissions.  

SmartyFile also allows applicants to pre-fill information into an application form and manage, view, search and sort submissions across multiple funders in one place. For more information on setting up your organisation’s SmartyFile profile, visit the SmartyFile Help Page.   

Applicants who choose not to set up a SmartyFile profile can still submit an application. Applications must be submitted by an authorised person from within the applicant organisation.
