How to Apply?
There are some important steps to consider before submitting an Expression of Interest.
The AFL Queensland Grand Final Facilities Fund will assess projects in a two phased approach.
Phase One: Expressions of Interest
Applicants are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest via the SmartyGrants portal.
This process asks for a range of information relating to your initial concept, including applicant details, project need, funding request and documentation such as funding approvals, scope of works, designs and full building plans.
Phase Two: Full Application
Once the Steering Committee have assessed your application, an AFL Queensland representative will be in touch to advise the outcome of your application.
Should your project align with the funds objectives and AFL Queensland Facilities Plan 2020 – 2025 you will be resent your EOI application via SmartyGrants to develop it into a full application and address the Assessment Criteria outlined in the Funding Guidelines.
On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
