Grant application guide
A step-by-step walkthrough of applying for an Elevate Community Grant.
1. Find an opportunity Browse [open grants](/grants) and open the one that fits your project. Each grant page lists its purpose, funding range, deadline and required documents.
2. Check eligibility Read the eligibility section carefully and use the [eligibility page](/eligibility). If you are unsure, [contact us](/contact) before applying.
3. Create an account You need an account to save drafts, upload documents and follow your application status.
4. Complete the form The form has five steps: applicant information, project details, budget, documents and review. Your progress saves as a draft, so you can return later.
5. Submit and follow up After you submit, you will receive a confirmation with your reference number. Check your dashboard for status updates and any requests for more information.
Submitting an application does not guarantee funding. Every application is evaluated against the criteria published for that grant.
