Welcome to The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust's online Grant Summary Form. You may submit both this form and your two-page Letter of Inquiry through this online tool. Please note that both of these are required for the Trust to consider your grant request. The online Grant Request Form has a number of features that allow grantseekers to complete, manage and submit grant requests. To begin a request, please review the information below, then click on Proceed to Grant Summary Form on the right.
How it Works
1) Before You Begin - You may want to review the Before You Begin page, which highlights links within the Piper Trust Web site to assist you in developing a grant request. Please also review Basic Grant Request Information, which summarizes the information requested on the online Grant Summary Form. Review of this information will help you prepare your grant request.
2) User Login - An individual password protected account is established using your email address. This account retains online Grant Summary Forms in progress and those submitted herein for a historical reference. There are different links to access depending on if you are a first-time user vs. a returning user. Please refer to FAQs for more detailed information and the links to use.
FOR FIRST-TIME USERS
- CLICK HERE if you are representing a nonprofit organization.
- CLICK HERE if you are representing a church, school or governmental entity.
Either of the above two links will establish a new account. An “Account Login” window will appear and you will be asked for your email address and to create a password. Login as a new online applicant. A Grant Summary Form will automatically be created for you to complete online.
FOR RETURNING USERS
Login as a returning applicant using your email address and password. This link will take returning users to their established account. Again, the account shows Grant Summary Forms in progress and those submitted herein for historical reference.
3) Start Now, Finish Later - You can start working on the Grant Summary Form, save it and return later. To return to your online Grant Summary Form in progress, click on https://www.grantrequest.com/SID_529. You may also want to bookmark this link for your convenience. Open Grant Summary Forms (those in progress) will remain in your account for 120 days and can only be seen by you.
4) DO NOT USE YOUR BROWSER'S BACK BUTTON! You will erase the work you’ve completed if you use your browser’s back button. Navigate through the Grant Summary Form by clicking on the page number links at the top of each page, click on the “Next” button at the bottom of each page, or click the “Save and Finish Later” button and reopen the Grant Summary Form.
5) Save Frequently - Internet connections and other electronic interruptions can cause any unsaved work to be lost. We recommend you draft the information in a Word document and then copy and paste it into the form. There is no time out feature.
6) Printing Your Request - Before you submit your request, you can print out your request by hitting "Printer Friendly Version" on any of the pages.
7) Submitting Your Request - When you submit your request to the Trust, an electronic version will be saved in your account.
If you prefer to mail your form, fill out the form online and print a "Printer Friendly Version" when you are finished. Mail the completed form and your Letter of Inquiry to: Grants Manager, 6720 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 350, Scottsdale, AZ 85253.
