FAQ for the CREATE Application Process

How long should I give myself to apply for a CREATE grant?


Applying for a CREATE grant should not be left until the last minute. In order to receive a grant number and access to the application, you must first complete the five pre-application steps outlined in the grant guidelines. Because of this, it is not advised to start the pre-application process right before the application deadline. Once all five pre-application steps have been completed successfully and these items have been verified by CRHC CREATE grant staff, a confirmation email is sent to the applicant within 3 business days that includes login instructions to access the grant application.  Once you have access to the application, it is to your advantage to allow ample time to craft a well-written application, seek feedback from others, and ultimately submit a grant that accurately reflects the needs of your organization.
