  • Note - The following changes can be made under any status. Moving the Award to "Draft" is not necessary.
    • Marking or unmarking a question as required

Branding Your Program:


1.) Update Logos:

Update your logo’s by selecting the green trash or pencil icons, then selecting your logo file from your computer.

Program Logo: This is the logo that appears on your program’s landing page.

Header Logo: This is the logo that will appear on each page of your application.

2.) Set your program colors:

Select the primary and secondary colors for your program. You can do this by pasting the hexadecimal color code, selecting the color from the color bar, or using the dropper tool to select a color from any location on the screen.

  • The primary color is displayed at the top of each application page, the header of the program landing page, and at the top of the program card displayed on the marketplace.
  • The secondary color is displayed on each section title on the program landing page.

3.) Title your program and create your program’s URL


In this section you can also define the award amount for your program. Toggling ‘Show Fund Amount’ to yes will display this amount on the program card in the marketplace.


Program Settings:


In this section, you can set your program open date, deadline date, and timezone. The form will automatically open and close on the dates and times you define here.

You can also control the following settings:
