Create an Organization

Any logged in, a new User can create an organization by clicking on Account (near the top), and then clicking on create next to Organizations. When creating an Organization, a User becomes the Organization’s Administrator and can then allow new users to join the Organization. An Administrator also controls the access level of all other Users.

When applying for a grant, you must create or join your own Organization. Grantees do not join the Funding Organization.
