Each project can only be applied to a fund once. Whether you can try again depends on the type of fund and what happened to your first application. ActionFunder doesn’t set a limit on how many of your organisation’s projects can go to one fund, but the funder might, so check the fund page.
Two projects, one fund
- Classic funds: each project is matched on its own. If two of your projects both match a fund’s criteria, both are applied to it. How matching works
- Active Apply funds: once one of your projects has been applied, the fund page shows Applied! instead of Apply now, so you can’t apply with a second project from there. How to apply to an Active Apply fund
If a fund’s guidelines say one application per organisation, stick to that, even where the app would let you apply with more. Reading a fund page: criteria and key deadlines
Applying again with the same project
It depends on what your project’s Application history says for that fund. Application history statuses explained
| Status | Can the same project be applied to that fund again? |
|---|---|
| Withdrawn | No. Withdrawing can’t be undone. |
| No longer eligible | Yes, while the fund is still live. Change your project so it matches again and re-publish it, and it’s applied again automatically. |
| Offer declined | No. |
| Offer expired | Contact us. Where it’s appropriate, we can ask for the offer to be reissued. Why funding offers expire |
Each project can only accept one funding offer. Unsuccessful projects stay live and keep matching with new funds. What happens to my project if it’s unsuccessful?
A new round of a fund
A fund can’t reopen once it has closed, so a new round is set up as a new fund on ActionFunder. Your application to an earlier round doesn’t stop you applying to the new one. A Classic fund takes your projects automatically if they match. For an Active Apply fund, click Apply now on the new round’s fund page.
If you need a project re-applied to a fund, for example because the new round’s page says you’ve already applied, contact us with the fund name and your project name.
