Online Grants Portal Registration Instructions

SC Humanities has now shifted to using an Online Grants Management System, managed by Foundant. Major, Mini, Planning, and Fast Track Literary Grants will all be accepted via this online Grants Portal starting on November 1, 2024.

This page provides information about creating and managing your account in our Grants Portal.

Create Your Account

From the logon page, just click “Create New Account” and complete the fields provided. Once you have registered, be sure to keep your logon information in a secure place for your records.

Helpful Hint: Do not use your browser’s “back” button during the registration process. Use the “Next” and “Previous” buttons to navigate through the registration steps.

Important tips:

  • In the first registration section, labeled Applicant Information, provide your organization’s information (name, address, phone, etc.), not your personal information.
  • In the next registration section, labeled User Information, provide your work contact information (business address, email, etc.), not your home or personal information.
  • Your email address is your username.
  • Check your spam! When you begin using our grants portal, please check your “Spam” or “Junk” folders and filters to be sure you can receive email from this address:

    administrator@grantinterface.com

    This is the address from which you’ll receive most communications about your online grants management. When you apply for a grant through this system, you should receive a confirmation email from that address. If you don’t see it in your inbox, please check your spam and/or contact your network administrator (particularly applicable for schools and school districts).

Visit this Applicant Tutorial page created by Foundant for more information, including a tutorial video.

Manage Your Account

  • If somebody in your organization already has an account in SC Humanities’ Grants Portal, please do NOT create a new account for yourself/the organization. Contact SC Humanities (803-771-2477, tjwallace@schumanities.org) so we can add you as a contact on the organization’s existing account. You are not able to add new contacts yourself. It must be done by SC Humanities.
