This upgrade will enhance the application process and centralize all grant applications for other foundations or grantors using the Blackbaud Grantmaking system to a single account login for non-profit organizations.

All applicants will need to create a new Blackbaud login if they do not have one, regardless if you’ve submitted a grant request in the past. Community Impact Grant Application – This application is for any 501c3 that is wanting to apply for our APS Community Impact Grant funding.
