How to Apply

online grantee portal

The Community Foundation of Abilene utilizes an online grants management system called, “Foundant GLM.” Application information must be submitted through this online system. Paper applications are not accepted. A login link to Foundant GLM is available below.

First-time applicants 

If this is your first time to apply for a grant with the Foundation, you will need to create a new account. Once your account is set up, your “dashboard” is displayed on screen every time you log in. 

From the dashboard, you can edit your contact information, begin the application process, access application drafts and submitted applications, and submit required post-grant evaluation reports.
