How it works

A shared portal, fully yours.

The Smart Application is your fund's extra front door. It gives social initiatives a single, trusted way to apply for funding, while you receive structured, complete applications directly in your own systems.

Custom application forms

Fully tailored to your fund's brand, criteria and workflow.

Reuse of information

Applicants can save and reuse their information for future applications — with your fund or any other fund using the Smart Application. Less time rewriting, more time for impact.

Example of easily doing multiple requests to different funds

Structured submissions

Receive applications in a structured and standardized format — including all attachments and supporting documents. Reducing manual work and email traffic.

Collaborate and co-fund

Discover and connect with other funders. Share insights and explore co-funding opportunities to maximize collective impact. Applicants benefit from greater visibility — and stronger connections with other initiatives.

Example of a collaboration with a funder

Connect with your workflow

Use Smart Application as an additional entry point for applications - your extra front door. Let applications flow directly into your existing workflow, whether you work via email, SharePoint, or another grant management system.

Why it matters

Accessibility for applicants. Effective for you.

Social initiatives get equal access and spend less time on paperwork. They can reuse information, manage all their applications in one account, and focus their energy where it matters most: their mission.

You receive complete, high-quality applications, ready for review in your preferred workflow, while making it easier to collaborate and co-fund with other funds.

ProjectCheck

Set clear criteria. Receive better matching applications.

ProjectCheck is a unique feature within the Smart Application that helps both funders and applicants save time and improve the quality of submissions.

Set your criteria

As a funder, you decide which criteria must be met before someone can apply, such as geographical focus, ANBI status or budget size. Combine guidelines (soft advice) and blocking criteria (hard filters) to strike the right balance between accessibility and relevance.

Example of a positive and negative match

Matches that make sense

For applicants, ProjectCheck acts as a quick self-assessment. Before starting an application, they can instantly see whether their project fits your criteria. This makes the process transparent and efficient, helping social initiatives focus on the funds that truly match their work.

Example of a successful request between a person and Univé Buurtfonds

The result

Applicants feel more confident when applying, and your fund only receives relevant, high-quality proposals. It's clarity for them, efficiency for you and a better use of everyone's time.
