Also in this section
We have collated some key documents and links to support organisations applying for funding and those who have been successfully awarded a grant.
If you have an enquiry about the grants programme, refer to our frequently asked questions below first to see if your question has already been answered there. If you can’t find the information you are looking for you can contact us on communitypartnerships@hackney.gov.uk or 020 8356 4066.
Using our system to apply for and manage grants
Our grants portal has recently been updated to a new system. All organisations will need to create a new login, even if you have been awarded grants by us previously.
Guidance on how to log on to the portal can be found here on How to sign into the new grants portal (google doc).
If you’re having issues logging in, see blackbaud’s troubleshoot login issues page.
We cannot reset your password anymore, this must be done by blackbaud.
Video Guidance
We’ve made some videos to talk you through some of the processes for the new system. More guidance documents and videos will be added to this web page over the coming weeks.
