Frequently asked questions about grant rounds

Short answers about creating, publishing, changing and closing grant rounds.

Last updated

Labels that name Grant and Application use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

Why can't I create a grant round?

You need a registration template first. The Grants page links to Plan › Form templates to create one. See Registration templates and types.

Why can't I change a published round's set-up?

A published round's set-up is locked. Select Unpublish & Edit, make the change and publish again. Applications already started or submitted are kept. See Publish and unpublish.

Can I extend the closing date without unpublishing?

Yes. On the round's page, select Change the closing date.

Our round is called something other than a grant. Can we rename it?

Yes. Under Settings > Profile and terms > Terminology, change the Funding round term. See Terminology.

Why can't I delete a round?

A round with applications or stages cannot be deleted. Archive it instead.

Can I start an application for an applicant?

Yes. Select Complete Application on Behalf on the round, choose an applicant with an approved registration, and fill in the application as them. Nothing is sent to the applicant.

This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
