Frequently asked questions about programs

Short answers about programs, groups and who can change them.

Last updated

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

What is the difference between a program and a group?

A group is a set of grants. A program holds one or more groups, and every grant in them belongs to the program. See Programs.

Can a grant belong to two programs?

No. A group belongs to one program at a time, so each of its grants does too. Moving a group to another program moves its grants with it.

Why can't I change a program?

The program may have an Owner group: then only members of that Admin Group and administrators with unrestricted access can change it. You also need the permission that opens Plan > Programs.

Can I undo archiving a program?

No. An archived program cannot be reopened or take a group. Use Close if you might need it again.

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.
