Applying as an Individual
If you are an individual applying for a grant (for example, if you are applying for a disaster relief grant), there are a few things you need to know when creating your account. Our system is typically utilized for grant applications for organizations, but you can still register as an individual. Here are the steps that you need to take to create an account as an individual:
- In the “Organization Name” box, write your first and last name.
- In the “EIN / Tax ID (##-#######)” box, write “00-0000000.”
- In response to the “Are you the Organization’s Executive Officer?” question, click “Yes.”
