Make sure to create a grant in excel. They don't mention that in the RFP but they ask for it when you are uploading. Make sure to have org details on hand like EIN when you are ready to upload the grant.

The grant portal is a little tricky to navigate and asks for information not accessible in the application description. Leave time!
