The option to invite applicants to apply to your grant cycle is available in Step 5 of your grant cycle intake form.
If you are running an invite-only cycle, you will see the Search for Existing Applicants search box. Please enter the applicant name, contact name, fiscal sponsor, email address or tax ID to search the JustFund network to confirm whether the applicant already has a JustFund account.
If they do, they will appear in the search results. Click the “+” button and once they login, they will have the ability to apply to the funding opportunity.
If you do not see the applicant after you’ve searched via the recommended filters, you can scroll towards the bottom of the page, and choose “Create a New Applicant Account.”
Next, enter the required fields: applicant name, tax status, contact email address, contact first name and contact last name. You also have the option to add multiple contacts for an organization. When your RFP is live on the announcement date, the applicant will receive an email inviting them to set up their credentials on JustFund.
If you are running an open grant cycle, you do not need to follow any of the previous steps, but instead, just click Submit.
