> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/funding-rounds/faq-funding-rounds.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> 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.

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](../registrations/registration-templates.md).

## 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](publish-and-unpublish.md).

## 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](../organisation/terminology.md).

## 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.
