> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/applicant/faq-applicants.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.

## Do I need a new account for each funder?

No. One Backed account works for every organisation that uses Backed. You register separately
with each organisation.

## Can I save my application and finish it later?

Yes. Your answers save automatically. Find the application under `Applications` and select
`Edit Application` to carry on.

## Can someone else in my organisation work on our application?

Yes. Add them under `Manage Members`; everyone who acts for your organisation can see and work on
its applications. See [Your organisation's members](your-organisation-members.md).

## I missed the closing date. Can I still apply?

Not by yourself. Once the closing date has passed, `Submit` is unavailable. Contact the
organisation: it can give you late access, with a deadline of its own. You'll get an email, and the
grant then shows "Late submission allowed until …" on your dashboard and its landing page. Start,
finish and submit your application before that deadline.

## Can I change my application after submitting it?

Select `Request to edit Application` on its page and tell the funder what you want to change. If
they approve, edit it and select `Resubmit`. See [After you submit](after-you-submit.md).

## How do I withdraw my application?

Open it and select `Withdraw Application`, then confirm. A withdrawn application can't be changed
or submitted again.

## How will I hear about a decision?

We email you, and the application page shows `Decision Letters`. A Letter of Offer asks you to
accept or decline. Until then, if the organisation set a date, your application shows `Decision
expected by` and the date. See [After you submit](after-you-submit.md).

## A message says something isn't available right now. Have I lost my work?

No. Sometimes one part of the service, such as email or search, is briefly unavailable. The
message names the part that is down, and only that part stops working. Your application and
anything you have already saved are safe, and you can keep working. Try the action again in a few
minutes.

## Where can I read Backed's terms and privacy policy?

In the Legal Centre on the Backed website, at backed.giving/legal. When they change, you are asked
to read the update the next time you sign in. See [Your profile](your-profile.md).
