Our grant request and funding management system fits seamlessly into our platform and builds heavily on the organization and project portraits on stiftungschweiz.ch: Nonprofits and Experts (individuals) submit grant requests directly on the portrait of participating funding organizations. The application form includes the enquiry (you can read here why we do not include a cover letter in the standard template of our application form and how to write an effective enquiry) as well as additional questions and attachments. These can vary greatly depending on the funding organization.
​

As an individual, you can start the application process for participating funding organizations directly from their portrait on stiftungschweiz.ch. After clicking on 'Submit grant request', if the organization has more than one grant request form, select the appropriate form and click on 'Continue'. If the organization only has one application form, you will be taken directly to the input mask

You can submit grant requests directly from the portrait of the funding organization.
​

Then carefully fill in the request and the individual questions of the funding organization. When you have finished, click on 'Next step'. Now check all the details. Click on 'Back to edit' to adjust your details again. If all the information is correct, click on 'Send grant request' to submit your application.
​

You can see all your grant requests sorted by status in your grant request overview under the menu item 'Grant Requests'. In the overview, you can see at a glance which organization the grant request was sent to, the amount requested, the request and the status.
​

Your grant requests are divided into four statuses in the grant request overview:

You will be automatically informed when the status of your grant request changes from 'Submitted' to 'Accepted' or 'Rejected'. This means you always have an overview of all your grant requests.
​

We use a clever labeling system to manage and filter grant requests. To add a label to a grant request, click on 'Edit labels', enter the label in the text field and then press 'Enter'. Add as many labels as you like and then click on 'Save'.
​

You can enter labels here.

To filter for a label, click on the symbol with the three dashes next to 'Labels' and select the desired labels.
