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

A funder's portal lists every grant round it has open for applications. You don't need to sign in to
look. The funder may use its own word for a grant round, a category or a program.

## Search the open rounds

1. Go to the funder's portal and open its list of open rounds.
2. Search by name, category or what the round's page says, then select `Search`.
3. Narrow the list under `Filters` by category or program, and choose `Sort by` `Closing soon` or
   `Newest`. Select `Clear filters` to see everything again.

Each round shows when it closes, such as `Closes in 3 days`, or `Always open` if it has no closing
date.

## Open a round

Select a round to open its Landing Page: what it funds, who can apply and when it closes. From there
you apply; see [Applying for a grant](applying-for-a-grant.md).

If nothing is open, the list says `Nothing is open right now`. Check back soon.
