Dogwood uses online portals to manage our (1) Active Grants with current partners and (2) application processes for new Grant Opportunities.
In 2025, we are transitioning to a new “Applicant and Grantee Portal” for our General Operating Support, Capacity Building, and Innovation & Collaboration Grant Opportunities. All grantseekers will need to use this new portal for 2025 Grant Opportunities.
At the same time, grantees with active grants prior to 2025 will still need to use Dogwood’s “Legacy Grantee Portal” to submit reports and manage their grants.
The new portal is designed to simplify the application process for 2025 Grant Opportunities and beyond. Applicants can now use a single login to manage all applications with any funder that uses Blackbaud Grantmaking, including Dogwood. If you already use Blackbaud products like Raiser’s Edge, you will not need to create a new login.
The new portal consolidates all applications from funders using Blackbaud Grantmaking into one location, providing a streamlined experience for grantseekers with a single login. This means that grantseekers can see applications for Dogwood and other funders in one place. The new portal is more user-friendly and allows applicants to manage applications, requirements, reports and invite additional users to collaborate on forms more easily.
The new portal consolidates all applications from various funders into one location, allowing applicants to manage applications and requirements more efficiently. It also allows applicants to invite additional users to collaborate on forms.
Yes, all applicants must have a Blackbaud ID to access the new portal. If you already use a Blackbaud product, you can use your existing Blackbaud ID and password.
You will be prompted to create an account when you start an application for General Operating Support, Capacity Building, or Innovation & Collaboration Grant Opportunities. Alternatively, you can sign up by visiting https://bbgm-apply.yourcausegrants.com/apply/applications and follow the instructions to create a Blackbaud ID. If you already have a Blackbaud ID from another Blackbaud product, you may use that to login.
Existing grantees with active grants that are also applying for 2025 Grant Opportunities. During the transition period (likely through June 2025), both the legacy portal and the new portal will be active. This allows current grantees to download previous applications and reports before the legacy portal is phased out. Additionally, active grantees with ongoing multi-year grants and pending report submissions will need to continue using the legacy portal to submit their reports until their reporting schedules are migrated to the new portal. Dogwood will send communications about these transitions to affected grantees via email.
You can reset your password through the Blackbaud login page. If you have trouble, contact our Grantmaking Operations Team at [email protected].
