Supporting documents: Please ensure they are clearly labelled with "Document name - Organisation name". For example: Audited Financials - Lawnton Jive Assoc. Files can be up to 25MB each, however we recommend keeping them under 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time. When uploading multiple documents, wait for each file to upload before trying to attach another file.

Completing an application in a group or team: A number of people can work on an application using the same log-in details. We strongly recommend that you use a shared email address, like info@yourcompany.org.au. But make sure only one person is working on an application at a time. If two people are working on the same form at the same time, it will only save the progress of one person and someone may lose some work.

Submitting your application: You are strongly encouraged to submit your completed application before the designated closing date. This is to allow sufficient time to review any incomplete or incorrectly formatted answers. You will find a review and submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors. Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

Once submitted you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your application attached. This will be sent to the email address registered on the SmartyGrants user account. If you do not receive this confirmation email, you should presume that your application has not been submitted. Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk folder.
