Tips Before Getting Started:

• You may access the eGRANT website by clicking on the link in the menu on the left-side of this screen, or by entering the following address in your browser address bar: http://http://pacouncilonthearts.egrant.net.
• Some grant applications require the use of eGRANT, while other do not; but we encourage its use. Some applications are not currently available in eGRANT. Please check the eGRANT Availability list to identify applications where eGRANT submission is required or available.
• You should have a copy of the grant program application guidelines ready for reference. The guidelines include detailed information and instructions for completing your paperwork. Downloadable program guidelines may be found here.
• It is encouraged to "pencil in" your information on a printed hardcopy of the forms before starting eGRANT.
• You may use the cut-and-paste features of your favorite word processor to save “on-line time” in answering narrative questions. Note: special fonts and formatting will be lost when pasting into eGRANT. It is recommended you use Plain Text and either Ariel or Times fonts when using your own word processor.
• You can save and return to your eGRANT application as many times as you want before officially submitting it to the PCA.
• Most previously submitted eGRANT applications are accessible to view, print, or to use as reference.
• You may use the eGRANT if you are applying through a Fiscal sponsor.
• Most organization's have an existing eGRANT account with the PCA. Do not create a new account. If you have any questions concerning your account, login or password, please contact the PCA. We can provide you with your account information. If an account does not already exist, the PCA will instruct the applicant to proceed with the Registration process on the eGRANT website.
