In an effort to better serve our constituents, improve grant tracking, and reduce our footprint, RICH is pleased to announce that we now offer paperless grant submission. Applying online is easy and will save you time and paper. Please read and follow the instructions outlined below to get started. If you have any questions about our new process, please contact SueEllen Kroll, grants director at (401) 273-2250 or by email at sue@rihumanities.org.
Getting Started
FIRST, all potential applicants will need to register their contact information with RICH. This enables you to create a profile with us in the new system, but does not in any way bind you to applying for a grant. Applicants will be prompted to set up a unique username and password. Please select something that you can remember, and be sure to write it down for future reference. Please note, individuals applying for a research mini grant will need to register their first and last names as both the Project Director and Sponsoring Organization fields. There will be instructions to guide you through this step. All fields with asterix (*) will need to be filled out before you can submit the registration and proceed to the next step.
SECOND, once logged into the system, all applicants will need to select the appropriate mini or major grant application from the list. Staff recommends that you have a backup Word document of your proposal in case you encounter any technical difficulties. You can view sample PDFs of our grants application by clicking on the following links below:
THIRD, all applicants must submit a budget using the RICH budget template which has been created in Excel. You will need to upload your saved budget to the grant application. Directions for uploading any files and documents are outlined below.
How to Upload Files and Documents to Your Application
As part of the application, you will be required to attach several documents. To upload a file, click the “Browse” button that is to the right of the gray area and choose the desired file from documents on your computer. A file size limit is noted next to the “Browse” button; the system will not accept files greater than this limit. Do not enter any text into the gray box to the left of the “Browse” button as this will prevent you from saving or submitting your form. If you have uploaded a file and saved your application, the filename of the uploaded file will be indicated under the Browse button. There is no need to upload another document if a filename is noted in this message, but you may upload a new file to overwrite your previous selection if you wish.
