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.
Your application can be found under the 'My Submissions' link.
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.
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.
Once submitted, 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.
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB.
Applicants who have created a SmartyFile organisation profile can now set up multiple team members as users for your organisation with different access levels and collaborate with other team members on SmartyGrants submissions. Smartyfile also allows applicants to pre-fill information into forms and manage, view, search and sort submissions across multiple funders in one spot. For more information on setting up your organisation's SmartyFile profile, visit the SmartyFile Help Page.
Applicants working with third parties who may be supporting a grant application, have the ability to add and define User access levels in their organisation profile, such as adding a 'Contributor'. It is the responsibility of the organisation's 'Administrator' to manage User access levels and permissions with third party Users accordingly. 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.
