Grant Application FAQs

  • We suggest that you complete the template, and assemble the files needed and compose your responsess in a Word or text document for grammer and spell check purposes.
  • If you have questions not answered here, you can schedule a Virtual Office Hours appointment.

SAVE & Submit Section—options to save, submit and print
We recommend that you create a free jotfom account prior to starting your application, if you don't already have one, but a jotform account is not required. Open this section to locate the "Save and continue later" button to save your work and continue later, submit your application to us, or print a copy for your records.

What is the difference between save and submit? "Save & continue later" allows you to save your work and continue later. You will need to save or bookmark the link provided in order to return to your application. "Submit" finalizes your work and "turns it in" to us, your application is not complete until you submit it.

How do I know my application has been submitted? When it has been submitted, a confirmation page, "Thank You" screen, appears. This page also includes another link to allow you to save a copy of your application. A copy will also be emailed to the person submitting the application and the CEO.

How do I get a copy of my application? You can print a copy in the Save & submit section or save it from the Thank you Page. You can also find submissions in your jotform account. Final signed copy- Three electronic signatures are required, and once signatures are complete, all signers (CEO, Board President and Treasurer) will also recieve a signed copy for your records.

What is the difference between "#'s Served" and "Units of service"? The first, "#'s served, is people served—one person counted once per year. Un-duplicated individual clients / one person counted once per year.

The second one is services— 25 clients might be a people count, and with once a month "service"— 25x12= 300 units of service—define/explain what the “units of service” are in the Define box— food box, client contact, night of shelter, meal served, etc.

How much detail can I give? Be concise, but complete. The answer fields are not limited, but if you write a book, it is too much information. Be aware, the more directly answer the question, the more clearly you define and explain things, the fewer questions the committee will have for you during the interview.

Where are the Agency related policies? They are in the Agency Handbook which is also linked to the instructions page.

Are electronic signatures required? Yes. The application is incomplete until signed. The submitted application will be sent via Adobe Sign for the CEO, Board President and Treasurer (to the email addresses provided in the application) for review the application and signatures after applications close. When one signs, it is sent on to the next person. Once all have signed, a signed copy is returned to each signer for your records.
