Foundation Launches New Grant Application System
The National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of Easygrants, a new grant
application system. Easygrants is designed to fit the
Foundation’s business processes and offers a user-friendly
interface for applicants and recipients in all aspects of proposal
submission and grants management. This transition will begin with
the launch of the pre-proposal module on March 3, 2008 for ten
Foundation Funding Opportunities listed below. Foundation staff
will work closely with funding partners, recipients, and potential
applicants over the coming year to ensure a smooth transition to an
electronic grant submission and management system for all Foundation
programs.
Easygrants Highlights
Allows returning applicants secure
access to update and reuse prior proposals and their contact profile
information.
Applicants can access their
pre-proposals and full proposals an unlimited number of times, saving
each time, before final submission.
Applicants can download a PDF version
of their proposals for their own records.
