CTF manages its grant process through Temelio, a secure online grants management platform. All steps, from submitting a Letter of Inquiry to receiving grant funds, are completed through your Temelio account. Consult the steps below for our process or access the CTF grant portal to get started.

 

​​

 

Step 1 — Create a Temelio Account

​

• First-time applicants should create a free account through CTF’s Temelio portal. You can enter your organization’s EIN to automatically populate your profile.

• Returning applicants can log in to find your organization’s information already on file.

 

​

Step 2 — Submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI)

​

• Grant applications are accepted by invitation only. The first step is to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) through your Temelio account.

• LOIs may be submitted at any time during the CTF fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). However, to be considered for the current grant cycle, LOI’s are 30 days before Grant Application deadline.

• LOIs will be reviewed within 2 weeks of receipt. You will receive notification of the decision through Temelio.

 

​

Step 3 — Submit a Grant Application

​

• If your LOI is approved, an invitation to apply will be issued and your application will appear in your Temelio account.

• Applications are reviewed by the CTF Board of Directors twice yearly. Applications must be received by December 31 and July 31, respectively.

• Applicants are notified of the Board’s decision in February and September.

•  Grant funds are generally issued within 30 days of receipt of Grant Agreement.

 

​

Step 4 — Reporting
 

• All grant recipients are required to submit regular progress and budget reports through their Temelio account. Automated reminders will be sent when reports are due.
