Welcome to the new online grant application system!

The Hamilton Community Foundation (HCF) makes it easy for you to apply for a  Women's Fund grant online. Please read the instructions below before beginning an application. All  grant applications are accepted through our online application only. 

How it works

A grant applicant creates an account in the Online Grants Application, and then logs on and starts a new grant application.  Your application can be saved as a draft, and when you log on again it's easy to return to that draft, make edits, and submit the application.  Each account maintains a record of the application history that you can access at any time.  

NOTE: Users will be logged out of the system after 90 minutes of inactivity, so if you think you will be done working in the system for a while, click "SAVE" to be safe.  

We recommend that you carefully read the instructions and reference materials found on this page before registering and starting your first application.

Creating your online account

All applicants are required to create an account. We suggest creating your account well in advance of the grant deadline to avoid any last-minute issues.  At the time of registration, you are required to enter the following information:

• A username that is an email address
• Your contact information
• Your organization's information, including the EIN/Tax ID number (required)
• Contact information for the organization's Executive Director/CEO

All applications are due by 5pm on the date of the deadline.  You will not be able to submit your application after that time.
