Here&#8217;s how to find the status of any application, whether it&#8217;s still live or already decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Go to your project management page<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From your dashboard, find your project and click <strong>&#8216;manage&#8217;<\/strong> next to its name. This takes you to your project management page, where all your funding activity for that project lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Check the &#8216;Funding Applications&#8217; tab<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your project has a <strong>live application<\/strong> that&#8217;s still awaiting a decision, you&#8217;ll find it listed under the <strong>Funding Applications<\/strong> tab. This means the funder hasn&#8217;t made a decision yet, so there&#8217;s nothing more for you to do but wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Check the &#8216;Application History&#8217; tab<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can&#8217;t see the fund you&#8217;re looking for in Funding Applications? Head to the <strong>Application History<\/strong> tab instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tab shows every application your project has made, including ones that are no longer active. For each one, you&#8217;ll see a clear status and a short explanation of what happened, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Not selected<\/strong> \u2014 the funder reviewed your project but chose not to fund it this time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No longer eligible<\/strong> \u2014 your project or the fund&#8217;s criteria changed, so it&#8217;s no longer a match<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Withdrawn<\/strong> \u2014 you withdrew this application yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offer declined<\/strong> \u2014 you were offered funding but chose not to accept it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offer expired<\/strong> \u2014 a funding offer was made but expired before it was accepted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-936x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-936x1024.png 936w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-274x300.png 274w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-768x840.png 768w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-46x50.png 46w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-55x60.png 55w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3-91x100.png 91w, https:\/\/help.actionfunder.org\/non-profits\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/image-3.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em>Caption: The Application History tab shows every past application, its status, and the date it was last updated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each entry also shows the fund name, the funder, and the date it was last updated, so you can see your full application journey at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccc <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If a fund appears in your Application History with a status you don&#8217;t understand, or you think there&#8217;s been a mistake, get in touch with our team and we&#8217;ll take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Need help?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any questions, just get in touch \u2014 <a href=\"mailto:hello@actionfunder.org\">hello@actionfunder.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to check the status of your application Once you&#8217;ve applied to a fund, you&#8217;ll want to keep an eye on how things are progressing.
