Instructions – US Mail & Online Submittal

NEW ONLINE PORTAL COMING SOON FOR ONLINE APPLICANTS!

We are moving to a new Grantee and Applicant Experience. The new 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.

IMPORTANT UPDATES regarding this transition will be posted on our website under the “Application Process” and “Updates” tabs.  Please visit our website periodically to stay informed.

CURRENT CHATLOS PORTAL USERS – Upon transition to the new portal, all historical data in your current 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 the transition.
