A well-known challenge for funds is receiving applications that don't align well with their objectives or requirements. This costs extra time, attention, and energy that could be used differently. Many of these applications could easily be prevented if applicants knew in advance whether their project fits within the fund's framework. That's exactly where the ProjectCheck comes in.
The ProjectCheck is a smart feature within Smart Application, developed to help both funds and applicants make their process more efficient, organized, and above all more effective.
Set your own criteria
As a fund, you fully determine which requirements a project must meet before an applicant can submit an application. Examples of requirements include:
- Geographic working area
- Themes or target groups
- Minimum or maximum budget
- ANBI status or other formal requirements
- Hard exclusion criteria
You set these criteria once, and from that moment on, ProjectCheck automatically works as the first filter in the application process.
Clarity for applicants
For applicants, ProjectCheck works as a quick self-assessment. Within minutes, they know whether their project fits your fund. Is it a match? Then they can proceed with submitting a complete application. Doesn't fit? Then they get the option to discover other funds.
This direct clarity makes the process more transparent and efficient, allowing social initiators to focus only on funds that truly match them.
Result: better matching applications
After setting up the ProjectCheck, you'll see two things happen: applicants feel more confident when submitting their application, and your fund only receives relevant applications. That means clarity for them, efficiency for you, and better use of everyone's time.
Want your fund to also benefit from better applications and a more efficient process?
