This sample Application Form can be adapted to suit your own grant program’s needs. Non-Australian grantmakers in particular should note that some questions in this form may not be suitable for your circumstances. You may wish to choose the international or NZ sample form templates instead.
Note that conditional logic has been applied to this form. If you remove sections/questions, this logic may be affected. Use 'Preview' mode to view where logic has been applied, or click on 'Section' or 'Page' headers to see conditions on the left-hand panel. Some questions also have validation applied (e.g., mandatory fields), but in most cases you will need to add this yourself.
This is a very comprehensive form - maybe too comprehensive if your program is giving out a small amount of money. You should delete, add, edit and adapt the questions (including hints, validation and conditional logic) to suit your own program's needs and the capacities of your applicant communities. Delete what you don't need – as a rule of thumb, don't ask a question if you don't know if or how you will use the answers.
You should consider providing, alongside your guidelines, a checklist of information/documentation that applicants will need to have on hand in order to complete your form.
We have highlighted, {{ like this }}, areas where you need to delete or add your own information before you make the form live.
