Grant Application FAQs

Please contact our grants management team with your name, former title, and new title. A grant administrator will need to update your information. 

In general, 501(c)(3) organizations based in Texas can apply for grants. Eligible applicants may include:

• Nonprofit mental health organizations
• Nonprofit social service organizations
• Peer/consumer-run organizations
• Faith-based organizations
• Youth-serving organizations

For some grants, colleges and universities, local mental health authorities, and other local, regional, or state agencies may also apply.

Please be aware that every grant funding opportunity is unique and may have special eligibility requirements. Our scholarships and fellowships, for example, have unique requirements. Be sure to always check the eligibility requirements listed in the Request for Proposals for the grant you are applying for.

No. Organizations with different IRS determinations cannot apply; grant funds cannot be used to support lobbying activities/efforts.

In general, yes. If you do not have a current 501(c)(3) status, you can partner with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to serve as the fiscal sponsor and manage the fiscal responsibilities and fiscal requirements of the grant. Please contact us to see if your organization qualifies.

A fiscal sponsor is an organization that manages a grant’s financial and administrative responsibilities on behalf of a community collaborative or another organization. The level of involvement may vary, but all roles whether it is financial or programmatic, must be clearly explained in the proposal. Please refer to the initiative webpage or application for an explanation of the role of the fiscal agent.

Grant funds are paid in advance. For multi-year grants, 100 percent of grant funds for the first grant period (GP1) are awarded by the University of Texas within 30 days of receiving a completed statement of agreement (contract).

Approximately four weeks before the end of GP1, 50 percent of grant funds for the second grant period (GP2) will be automatically paid out. Pending approval of the GP1 narrative and financial reports, the balance of the remaining GP2 funds will be paid out. This pattern repeats every year.

No. Funding awards will be equally distributed over each grant period.

 Yes. You must complete and upload the budget template provided in Fluxx. You can view and download the budget template before registering in Fluxx

The total operating budget is the full amount you expect to spend during the current fiscal year to run your organization. This includes all expenses such as salaries, program expenses, administrative costs, fundraising, and more.

We lock and protect the budget and timeline templates to limit the information provided in the budget or timeline spreadsheets. For example, the timeline template should only include the project’s benchmark goals and dates. Budget summaries may be explained and expanded in various tabs of the budget template. We will edit the proposed timeline and budget as needed once they have been submitted. We encourage you to upload graphics or additional timeline and narrative information separately. 

If you believe there is an error in the locking function or the spreadsheet in general, contact grants management.

Fluxx will automatically log you out after 30 minutes of inactivity, and any unsaved work will be lost. To avoid losing your progress, be sure to manually save your work frequently. We strongly recommend drafting your responses in a separate document (like Word or Google Docs) and then copying and pasting them into the Fluxx form when you’re ready. 

Your organization needs to submit a financial report at the end of each grant period. If you have funds to carryover from one grant period to the next, you will need to submit a Future Budget Revision and have it approved, prior to receiving any scheduled funding.
