Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on Submit at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.
Please be aware that once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
Don’t forget to also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
Attachments and Supporting Documents
You may need to upload and submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device. If required, you may upload more than one attachment in each upload question.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 75MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
Collaborating on one Application
Proponents who have created a SmartyFile organisation profile can now set up multiple team members as users for your organisation with different access levels and collaborate with other team members on SmartyGrants submissions. For more information on setting up your organisation's SmartyFile profile, visit the SmartyFile Help Page.
Proponents who choose not to set up a SmartyFile organisation profile can work on the Project Bid Form using the same log-in details. However, at any given time only one person can be working on the form in the system. In this instance, we recommend that Proponents utilise the option to download a PDF of the Project Bid Form to allow content to be developed in parallel. Please ensure that your team members save regularly to avoid losing any completed information.
For help using this form, download the SmartyGrants help guide for Proponents or check out SmartyGrants Proponent FAQs.
