Steps to create your Rapid Fund application

Step 1. Fill out the probox

In the first section of the application you will be asked to input basic information about you and your project. The format in this section will look like this:

|grantee=

Please note, the words between "" are instructions and they will not appear in your final application.

Step 2. Choose your project goals

The application lists a few goals that are common for each type of project. You can add additional goals and delete the goals that do not apply to your project.

Step 3. Tell us about your project plan

The activities section of the application includes several questions for you to answer so that we can learn more about your project plan. If a question does not seem relevant to your project, tell us why.

Step 4. Impact

We would like to know what outcomes you think will come from this project. The application includes a list of metrics that are often tracked for similar projects. For each metric, please provide an estimate for what you hope to achieve if your project is successful.

Step 5. Resources

Use the resources section to tell us about the resources you already have (i.e. the project organizing team, partners, other funding) and the resources you need. You can create a budget table or make a bulleted list of each project expense and the total amount of funding you are requesting.

Step 6. Endorsements

This is a space where community members are encouraged to endorse your project request. Get tips for notifying your community here.

Step 7. Submit the application
