To upload your constitution – a step by step guide:

The way you provide us with your Organisation Name and Constitution has changed, so that you only need to supply your constitutions once, and so you can apply on behalf of multiple organisations using a single account.

• You will be asked to register or sign in as normal.
• If you are a new user, you will be asked to provide your name.
• You will receive an email with your sign in link – please check your junk email for this.
• Click on the link to log into the Grants Application Service.
• Click on the ‘Manage Organisations’ link at the top of the page.
• Click ‘Add Organisation’ to enter your organisation(s) details. This will add your organisation(s) to the funding hub, which can be seen in the table.
• If you are a returning user, your original organisation should already be added to the system however you will still need to upload your signed constitution (Call One only)
• Once you have added your organisation, click the Upload button to upload your most recent signed Constitution (this could also be Trust deeds or Articles of Association).
• Once you have uploaded your constitution, click ‘Back to Home’.
• Click on the grant you wish to apply for. When applying, you will now be asked to select which organisation you’re applying on behalf of.
