Setting Up Your Applicant Account and Creating Applications

Contents

To submit an application through ZoomGrants, you must first create a ZoomGrants Applicant account. Follow the steps below to set up your account and start your application.

Setting Up Your Applicant Account

You must use a link provided by the funding organization to create your ZoomGrants Applicant account.  You cannot create an account or search for a program directly from our homepage, and ZoomGrants staff cannot provide program links.  The program administrator is responsible for granting access.

How to Create an Account

  1. Use the New ZoomGrants Account box on the right side of the provided page.
  2. Enter the required information and follow the prompts to complete the setup.

Account Ownership Considerations

If you are applying on behalf of an organization, keep these important points in mind:

  • Single-User Access: Each account is linked to a single email and password combination.

Managing Multiple Users:

  • If multiple people need full access, consider using a general email or alias that forwards to all necessary recipients.
  • Login credentials can be shared with authorized users.

Submitting Applications for Multiple Organizations:

  • You will need a separate account (with a different email) for each organization.
  • A single account cannot submit applications for multiple organizations.

Adding Users to Applications:

  • Collaborators: Can be added to specific applications to assist with submissions.
  • Additional Contacts: Can receive notifications related to specific applications.

What if the Account Owner Leaves?

  • Ensure account credentials are shared before the owner departs.
  • If access is lost, submit a support request to transfer ownership and reset the password.

Important Email Notifications

Once your account is created, you will receive a confirmation email from Notices@ZoomGrants.com.  Since most notifications come from this address:

  • Mark it as not spam.
  • Add it to your safe sender list or whitelist the ZoomGrants domain.

Creating Applications

Once your account is set up, follow these steps to start an application:

  1. Click the Apply button next to the program you wish to apply for.
  2. The page will refresh, displaying your newly created application.
  3. If required, enter an application or project title to easily identify it.

Submitting Multiple Applications

If the program administrator allows multiple submissions:

  1. Open your original application.
  2. Click the Open Programs tab (upper left of the page).
  3. Look for the Apply Again button and click it to start a new application.
