Important Updates

NEW BLACKBAUD ONLINE PORTAL FOR ONLINE APPLICANTS – EFFECTIVE JUNE 2, 2025

We are moving to a new Grantee and Applicant Experience. The new Blackbaud portal will have a new look, make the application process easier, and give users the ability to manage all Blackbaud Grantmaking funders from one consolidated portal.  To begin a new application in JUNE 2025, use the new Blackbaud portal link at the “Application Process” tab.

PORTAL TRANSITION

  • Portal Transition applies only to the Online Submittal process. If your organization has mailed your Application for Funding in the past and that is your preferred method for submittal, this news does not affect you.
  • There are no changes to The Chatlos Foundation eligibility requirements, internal review or funding processes.
  • Portal Transition doesn’t affect the processing of a Pending Application that has been submitted for review and is currently in progress.
  • If you are currently working on an “In Progress” application in your Chatlos portal account, you can continue to do so and SUBMIT THE APPLICATION BY THE END OF JULY 2025.  We recommend that you retain a copy of the most current version as you update the application.  This can be done through the Printer Friendly Version button, Email Draft option or choose the Save & Finish Later button to have a copy sent to your email.
  • If you are currently working to submit a “New” or “In Progress” Final Report Requirement through your Chatlos portal account, please continue to do so and UPLOAD BY THE END OF JULY 2025.

CURRENT CHATLOS PORTAL USERS – As of August 31, 2025, access to your Chatlos Portal and the ability to process applications or requirements will be discontinued.  In addition, all historical data in your current Chatlos portal account will be lost.  The Chatlos Foundation does not have access to your portal account information; therefore, we are unable to gather the historical data for you.  You may want to download any previous applications and reports prior to August 31.

Foundation Update 

The Chatlos Foundation continues to accept funding requests as outlined by our Application Process.  Eligible organizations may submit funding requests related to their area of greatest need.

At this time, the Chatlos Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet in February, June and October 2025.
