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.

​

Please Note: Organizations that have received funding for two consecutive grant cycles (last year and the current year) are not eligible to apply for the upcoming fall cycle.  Agencies are welcome to participate in the capacity building opportunities and may apply for funding consideration the following year.

1. Click on the GLM portal link (Bookmark the page for future use).
2. Click "Create Account".

3. Complete the Organizational Information section.

• All questions marked with an asterisk are required.

• Some questions have specific formatting requirements, and the system will prompt you if the formatting is incorrect.

4. Indicate your role within the organization.

• The person creating the account will be asked if they are the Executive Director or CEO.

• If not, you will need to provide information about the person in that position.

5. Finalize your account creation.

•  After completing the information for the organization and the Executive Director/CEO (if applicable), click "Create Account."

•  You will receive an email confirming that your account has been created. Please check your email before proceeding to ensure the account was successfully created. Once confirmed, you can move on to the next section to apply.

6. Preview the application.

• Before clicking "Apply," you may click "Preview" to view the application questions to gain an understanding of what is required, including attachments.

• You can also click the "Question List" box in the upper right corner to automatically download a PDF of the questions.

• When you are ready to begin completing the application, click "Apply."

7. If you decide not to submit an application, click on "Abandon Request."  

• The organization’s account will not be affected and can be accessed for future use.

8. Saving and submitting your application.

• Applications can be saved and returned to as many times as needed.

• Only submit the application when you are ready, as it cannot be edited after submission.

• 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.
