Online Application Instructions

The Michelson Family Foundation utilizes the eGrant.net online application module to process submissions. Once you have completed the online application form, detailing basic information about your organization and program, you will be prompted to upload the narrative and other required documents as separate .pdf attachments.

Keys to a Successful Online Submission:

- Organizations should create a single registration account. Please save your login and password to share with your colleagues who may want to access the online application at a later date.

- Please click the “Save Your Work” button at the bottom of the screen before logging out to prevent the loss of unsaved data. The online application module times out automatically after 90 minutes. This will also allow users to save changes and complete the application at a later time.

- The online application service is designed to work on a variety of web browsers and does not require you to use a specific service.

- All required forms and attachments must be uploaded at the same time once you are ready to submit your complete online submission. (ie: Attachments will not be saved to applications still in progress.)

To begin your online application, go to: pacific.egrant.net
