Grants Application & Reporting Process to Go Online in 2012

The Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation is upgrading our grants management process with an optional online system. With many foundations now accepting grant applications and reports online, we anticipate that our transition will provide a more streamlined and simple approach for the community seeking grant funds, as well as for our staff and Board of Directors. The new system includes an online format for submitting Letters of Intent, grant applications, as well as six-month (interim) and one-year (final) reports. We request that you consider submitting Letters of Intent for our spring 2012 grant cycle in the new online system, but it is not required at this time. We will still be accepting Letters of Intent via email to grantsapplication@pottstownfoundation.org until further notice. Letters of Intent for spring 2012 are due February 23, 2012.

To make the transition as easy as possible, the Foundation will be glad to answer any questions you may have about the new online system. To access the new online system for submitting a new Letter of Intent, please click here. Note that the system will ask you to enter your organization’s tax ID number if you have one (schools and municipalities can provide a telephone number as your tax ID number instead). Once you have started your LOI, you can click here to access your Grantee Portal and login again for editing.

Trainings will be provided at a later date. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition and learning process.

For more information, please contact Anna Brendle, Program Officer, at 610-323-2006 ext. 29 or abrendle@pottstownfoundation.org.
