Hi Elizabeth,
I just replied to the email you sent to the grants@maddiesfund.org.
This is the best way to get help with the grants portal.
I look forward to receiving your response to that email.
Best,
Amber

Here are some screenshots and tips to help you submit your Participation Report by 5pm PST on Friday, 5/19/23. Remember there is $420,000 in grants plus other amazing prices up for grabs! We don't want you to miss out!
1. 1. Log into your grants portal account at Grantee Signin. If you have trouble with your login, please email us at grants@maddiesfund.org or call us 925-310-5450.

2. Once you log in, you will land on the Grantee Dashboard. Click on Grantee Reports on the left side, middle of your screen.

3. Select Grantee Reports and then Open Items.

4. Under Open Items, you will see Open Arms 2023 - Participation Report. All the way to the right of that report will be a drop down arrow. Depending on what browser you are using, you may have to first scroll all the way to the right and then scroll down to see this arrow.
5. Click on the arrow and select Edit. This will open the report. The report will look like the screenshot below.

6. Please answer all of the questions completely. When you are done, click the blue Review/Submit button on the top right side of the screen.

8. You will receive a popup asking if you are sure you would like to submit. Click OK.

9. Once you submit, you should receive a pop up that your report has been submitted and an email that your report has been submitted. If you do not receive both of this messages, please contact us at grants@maddiesfund.org or 925-310-5465 to make sure that your report has been submitted.
We are happy to help you submit your reports and answer any questions you may have.
