Submitting a Grant Request Through the Fund Portal

To request a grant from a fund, select the Create Grant Request button on the right side of the screen. Submitting a grant request is a three-step process: 

1. Choose a grantee. You have several options for selecting a grantee. Click:

• Previous Grantee Or Fund to choose a grantee you have given to in the past
• Search Grantee to search the database for eligible organizations
• Manual Grantee to enter your grantee information manually if you cannot find the organization you wish to support

2. Enter grant details.

• In the Description field, include notes that should be passed along to the grantee in the check memo    
• Choose Anonymous if you do not wish for your name and fund information to be shared with the grantee
• Upload any attachments you wish to provide along with the request—your attachments will not be shared with the grantee
• In the Processing notes field, provide any instructions for Austin Community Foundation to reference while processing the request

3. Review and submit your request. Once you submit the request, the grant payment will be entered into the next weekly processing cycle. Staff will reach out to you with any questions or changes to your request.
