NCF is pleased to announce the launch of our new Granting Portal; making applying, receiving, and reporting on grants a streamlined and simple process. Through one dashboard, applicants can access all grant programs available through NCF, see archives of past grants, and have access to final reports and follow-up steps.
Beyond the simplicity for our grantees, this new portal allows our volunteer grant reviewers to access applications assigned to them with a transparent and templated process for evaluation. This ensures NCF is adhering to the highest grantmaking standards required to maintain our certification with Imagine Canada.
For all applicants, please follow these simple steps to start your application process today.

First Time Applicant
If you are the first person for your organization to set up an account with us, follow this link and click on "Create New Account" to set up a username and password. You will become the primary contact for your organization profile (please confirm with your staff and colleagues that this step has not already been taken). In the registration process, you will be asked to provide your organization's contact information and CRA number. This is required! Once your new account is created, you will be able to track all your applications, approvals, and grant agreements on your new dashboard.
New User or Returning Applicant
If your organization has submitted an application to us in the past, but you are a new staff member or a volunteer writing an application for the first time, DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. You need to be added as a USER under your organization's profile. This process is completed by NCF Administration OR by your Organization through the "Collaborator" feature (see below). Please contact us with your name, email address and organization and we will assist you to ensure you are linked to your organization properly.
Collaborator
NCF's granting portal allows you to add collaborators on an application. This is helpful when you have multiple grant writers or you are partnering with another organization for your application. Please follow this guide to invite a collaborator to an application OR to add a new user to your organization.
User Dashboard
Within your dashboard, you will have access to all your current, past and approved applications, as well as grant agreements and final reports. Please note that if there are multiple users associated with your organization, you will only have access to applications that you have been assigned.
