As a cloud-based system, ZoomGrants makes it easy for applicants to work on and submit their applications. ZG takes the\u00a0program content\u00a0and requirements set up by the program administrator and provides helpful features to facilitate the application process. Read about the basics, below.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to Organization’s ZoomGrants Page<\/h2>\n

Navigate to the ZoomGrants page for the organization <\/b>by using the link provided to you by the program administrator.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/i><\/b>For this first step, <\/i>do not<\/i><\/b><\/u> go to the ZoomGrants homepage<\/i><\/b>. <\/i>Once you\u2019ve started an application using the link above, you can log in at https:\/\/ZoomGrants.com\/login<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2: Create an Account & Log In<\/h2>\n

Create your ZoomGrants account and log in <\/b>using the New ZoomGrants Account box on the righthand side. If you already have an account, log in using the boxes in the upper right corner of the page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/i><\/b>In ZoomGrants, <\/i>each application is officially associated with a single account and each account is \u2018owned\u2019 by a single user and accessed by a single email address. <\/i><\/b>We recommend that the person who will be the primary contact for applications creates the first account for an organization. Once that person creates their account, gets logged in, and starts the application(s), they will be able to invite other people to collaborate on all or some of the applications in their account.<\/i><\/p>\n

Step 3: Create Your Application<\/h2>\n

Click the Apply button <\/b>next to the appropriate program to create your first application for that program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 4: Invite Others to Collaborate (as necessary)<\/h2>\n

\u00a0Summary Tab (1st tab of application) > Collaborators\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Use the Collaborators section in the first tab of the application to invite others to work on this application with you. <\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Enter their email address, first\/last name, and title. <\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Indicate on which sections they <\/b>are allowed to<\/b> collaborate<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the Invite button. <\/b>An invitation will be sent to their email address. They\u2019ll be able to set up an account by which they can access and edit the application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    NOTE: <\/i><\/b>If granted access, collaborators can do everything that the application owner can do <\/i>except:<\/i> editing the Applicant and Organization information sections in the first tab of the application and submitting, archiving, or deleting the application<\/i><\/p>\n

    Step 5: Fill out Questions, Budget, & Tables<\/h2>\n

    Answer the questions and fill in the budget and tables.<\/i><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Program\/Application Content<\/h3>\n
    \n

    In each program, the program administrator decides what content<\/strong> they’d like to request from the applicant. As a result, the tabs, questions, and requested documents will differ between programs and organizations. (For ZGU search and training purposes, refer to the default tab labels<\/a> to find the appropriate resources.)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

    Admins also decide how to capture the information<\/strong> from their applications. They can choose the question type for each question, what features to use, what files to request, etc.<\/p>\n \t\t

    \r\n \t\t\tThe program admin controls the application content.<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

    \r\n \t\t\t\t\tZoomGrants staff plays no role in\u00a0determining the content requested by the administrator from the applicants. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n
