Publish your JustFund Common Application™ profile  

As the nation’s first – and only – giving platform that uses a common application, JustFund connects funders and applicants so they can move money quickly to communities that have been historically excluded from traditional philanthropy.

Your JustFund Common Application™ profile is designed to save you time by simplifying the grant application process. Complete your profile once and use it to apply to multiple funding opportunities. A complete profile increases your visibility, builds trust, and opens doors to new funding opportunities and partnerships.

How it works 

First complete and publish your JustFund Common Application™ profile. This profile includes key information about your organization, including mission statement, team description, financials, and more. 

Once published, your Common Application™ profile: 

  • Becomes discoverable to funders via JustFund Search, a repository of all JustFund Common Application™ profiles from projects, organizations, and funds seeking funding. 
  • Unlocks access to apply to funding opportunities on JustFund.
  • Serves as the foundation for every application.

Why it matters

  • Save time: Apply to multiple opportunities using a single, reusable profile. 
  • Boost visibility: Funders on JustFund can discover your published profile via JustFund Search.
  • Access funding opportunities: Discover and apply to opportunities that align with your work, without starting from scratch every time.

Steps to publish your JustFund Common Application™ profile

  1. Complete all required fields on each profile tab: 
    1. Overview: Describe your mission, organizational priorities, and include short bios of key team members.
    2. Highlight focus areas: Select filters that describe your work to aligned funders.
    3. Add financial information: Include your annual operating budget, tax status, and other financials.
    4. Personalize your profile: Upload your logo, banner, and media links (e.g. videos, articles, social media) to help personalize your work.
  2. Preview and publish your completed profile once you’re ready. Your published profile will become discoverable to funders on JustFund Search.
  3. Begin applying to funding opportunities.

FAQs

  • Do I need to complete every field to publish my profile? No, but a more complete profile increases your discoverability and better illustrates your work to funders.

  • Who can view my JustFund Common Application™ profile? Your published Common Application™ profile is discoverable to funders with paid user-logins via JustFund Search. 
  • If I update my profile, will existing application content be overwritten? Applications preserve a record of key profile information at the date/time of submission, including annual budget, mission statement, organization description, and team description. Other profile fields (e.g. filters, financial information, contact information, etc.) update in real time and reflect any profile updates, even on submitted applications.  

Tips 

  • Keep your profile updated: To improve the likelihood of connecting with aligned funders, be sure your profile information is kept up to date. We recommend reviewing this at least bi-annually. 
  • Focus on describing your organization’s work as a whole in the profile narrative fields. Any content you would like to share with a specific funder can be included in funder-specific application responses.
