You can browse grants on Boundless today. The self-serve application screens are still rolling out, so for some programs applications are handled by the organizer (for example, through a program link). The steps below describe how it works.
Before you apply
- Set up your account and balance.
- Read the program’s scope, grant types, and requirements.
- Optional: Build your reputation.
Steps
1
Choose a program
Browse grant programs and pick one that matches your project.
2
Prepare your application
Write your project description and goals, and break the work into the milestones you’ll deliver, each with a timeline. If the program takes requests, say how much you need within its range and what the money pays for. Add any requested attachments or links.
3
Submit
Submit your application before the deadline. You may need to verify your identity depending on the program.
4
Review and decision
The organizer reviews applications and approves the ones they will fund, each at an amount. If that amount is less than you asked, or the organizer sets it, you accept or decline the offer. Once recipients are locked, you deliver your milestones one at a time. See Deliver milestones.
Tips
- Align your milestones with the program’s grant type, and make each one clear and verifiable.
- Answer all required fields and follow any word limits or format rules.
