*****UPDATE*****

We are moving to a new grantee portal and application experience, starting June 1, 2025. The new portal will make the application process much easier. You will now have a single account to manage all funders using Blackbaud Grantmaking in one consolidated portal. If you already use a Blackbaud product, such as Raiser’s Edge, you will not need to create a secondary login. You will be required to securely sign in with a new Blackbaud ID, or use an existing Blackbaud ID, if you use other Blackbaud products.


Please bookmark https://bbgm-apply.yourcausegrants.com/apply/applications to access and return to your applications and requirement forms and add noreply@yourcause.com to your safe senders lists. We are encouraging grantees to add all additional applicants that should have access to the application and subsequent forms to enable sharing.

 

Be advised that your application history will be starting over in the new portal. You may want to download any previous applications and reports prior to August 25, 2025.
