How to Apply

Overview

Organizations interested in applying for a Responsive Grant must apply online and have an account in the Grant Lifecycle Management (GLM) system with login credentials (email and password). This requirement applies to all first-time applicants, previous applicants/grantees, and current grantees.

If your organization already has an account and you know the login credentials, you can proceed
directly to the GLM portal to access the Responsive Grant Application when the grant cycle
opens. If you've forgotten your password, the system will provide a prompt to help you reset it.
If you encounter issues with the email address or password associated with your account, do
not create a new account; instead, contact the SLPO office for assistance with the login
credentials and to make any account revisions.
If your agency previously received funding from the SLPO but did not apply for a 2024 grant, you
must create an account. See the instructions below on how to create an online account.
For new or first-time applicants, you are encouraged to review the Responsive Grant Application
Questions and Grant Budget Form to determine if you would like to submit a funding request
before creating an account in GLM. If you decide to proceed, please follow the steps outlined in
the instructions below.

Agencies are welcome to participate in the capacity building opportunities and may apply for funding consideration the following year.

If you need to make changes to the application after submission, contact the SLPO and it can returned to the draft queue. You will need to save and resubmit the revised application.

Updating Account Contact Information

Each agency’s account is linked to a unique email address and password. To update your user contact information, log in, click your name in the top right corner of the screen, and select "Edit Profile" from the drop-down menu.

To update your organization's information, including that of the Executive Director or Chief Executive Officer, or if you encounter issues accessing an existing account (e.g., the person who created the account is no longer with the agency), please contact the SLPO office at (314) 534-4452 or support@stlphilanthropic.org. SLPO will assist you in updating the email address, password, primary contact, and other account details. Keeping the SLPO informed of any key staff changes within your organization throughout the grant year is essential.
