How to affiliate with an organization

Once you are logged into the system, you will need to affiliate with an organization. For example, if you will be submitting an application for a city or county, you will need to be affiliated with that city or county organization. You may also affiliate with multiple organizations.  This applies for grant consultants and development districts who may apply for multiple organizations. 

At the top of the Home dashboard (screenshot below), there is a message at the top "Note: Please be sure to submit a request to affiliate with a registered organization before you apply for any grant." This box will let you know which organization you are logged in as "Affiliated" with or "Not Affiliated". To switch to your organization of preference, simply click the "Switch Organization" button on the top right of the screen.
