Grant application form
A grant application form collects the essential information a foundation or program needs to evaluate funding requests — the applicant's background, the amount requested, the purpose of the funding and the timeline for the project.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
A number field for amount requested avoids ambiguous text entries
Reviewers quickly sort by grant size when amounts are numbers, not "about $50k or so".
Two date fields for timeline are better than open text
A project start and end date lets reviewers assess feasibility at a glance.
This one uses file uploads, which is a paid feature — you can build and edit it on the free plan, but saving it needs an upgrade.
No card required.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a grant application form, not general advice about forms.
Using open text for amount requested
Text entries like "we need about $50K" are harder to sort and compare than number fields.
Missing the project timeline
Reviewers need to know when the work starts and finishes to assess feasibility and budget realism.
Not collecting supporting documents in the form
If you require documents, include a file upload field so everything arrives together.
Questions about this form
Does this form verify nonprofit status?
No. The form collects the application; verifying 501(c)(3) or nonprofit status is the reviewer's responsibility.
Can I ask about matching funds or co-funding?
Yes. Add text or number fields for matching fund commitments if your grant program requires them.
What if an applicant needs to submit multiple supporting documents?
Use a file upload field and set the field to accept up to 3 files. Reviewers download them from the CSV export.
