Account Setup / Beginning an Application

New or Returning Grantees

If you are a new grantee, you must create an account in the system when you apply. Please reach out to Elizabeth Power at EPower@SelbyFdn.org to first schedule a pre-grant meeting.

After discussing your potential proposal and readiness to apply, you will receive a link to the application portal. The link will be sent the day the application opens (or afterwards if your pre-grant meeting is late.)
