Your journey is personal.
We help you get there.

Registration & Log-In Process

Foundation staff is available to answer your questions.

 

Please call us at (216) 851-8200 ext. 2035

 

New Users

Register by clicking Create New Account on the Log-In page. 

Returning Users

Log on to the system using your e-mail address and the password. Please do not create a second, new user account. There is a system prompt to assist if you need a password reminder. 

The Registration Process

The registration process has four sections: (1) organization information, (2) your individual user information, (3) executive officer information, and (4) choosing your individual user password. The registration process is straightforward; however, in some cases, it may be more complex when certain factors apply.

Each individual user is linked to a single organization. If you are submitting applications for different organizations, you will need to register separately using a different email address for each organization. For example you are a part-time staff at both Organization A and Organization B. In order to submit an application for both Organizations A and B, you will need to register using one email address for the application from Organization A and you will need to register using another email address for the application from Organization B. 

 

During the registration process, you cannot save partial information. Therefore, you should gather all required information before beginning the registration process. 

Your user account ID is your e-mail address. 

 

Updating your Registration Information

To update your user information, click on your name at the top right corner of the screen and select “Edit Profile” from the drop-down menu.

 

To update your organization’s or your chief executive officer’s information contact Tara Regan

Uploading Files

In general, the acceptable file types for uploading files are Microsoft Word/Excel and Adobe PDF files.

Only one file can be uploaded per question. Multiple documents must be combined into one file and then uploaded.

We prefer to have only the documents that are required. If, however, you have information that is necessary for review, contact the Foundation Office.
