If an application has been submitted on behalf of the organization before, you have two choices: Use the existing account information to apply Create a new logon for the applicant It is always preferable to use an existing account if the organization has received prior funding; however, we understand that some organizations will have more than one person apply for funds.

In these cases, each individual may create a unique logon for the organization. As long as the same FEIN number is noted, GNWKCF can combine the accounts on the back-end of the system. In this case, just follow the process to create a new logon.

If you want to use an existing account but cannot recall the logon information, click on the “FORGOT PASSWORD” button to have a password reset. If you do not remember the email account associated with the account, please call our office for assistance at 785-734-2406 or email us at [email protected] . May I use the same email account for multiple organization accounts?

We understand that in rural Kansas, it is not uncommon for one individual to help write grants for multiple organizations. Unfortunately, the grant application portal will only allow one email address to be used for one organization account. There is a new option to use a “Collaboration” feature in the grant management portal.

If you believe there is an existing account setup for your organization but do not have that information, you can contact our office at 785-734-2406 or [email protected] to request assistance.
