Introducing our Community Investment Portal
With the introduction of our new online Community Investment Portal, applying for and managing your grants has never been easier.
By using our online portal, we aim to improve the experience of those applying to our community funds. The Portal makes grant applications easy, whilst also allowing applicants to view key information on their applications and any grant awards – all in one place. It also enables us to better manage grant applications, improve communication between applicants and awardees and will help demonstrate the socio-economic value our community funding brings.
The Portal has been carefully designed to be user friendly, including for applicants with little or no experience in using online application systems.
How do I submit an application on the portal?
When you are ready to submit an application for a fund, go to the relevant fund page and click ‘Apply Now’.
This will take you to the SSE Community Investment Portal. You will be asked to confirm your eligibility to apply to the Fund and will need to create a user account, if you have not already done so, or login if you already have an account. Please not that your username will be your email address with .sse at the end (e.g. joe.blogs@outlook.com.sse).
It is recommended that you set up an account and ensure that you can access the relevant application form as soon as possible – this means that if you have any issues, we can support you in a timely manner.
Your draft application will save at key points, so you can log out of the portal and resume drafting at a later date.
To continue drafting, click the ‘Continue Existing Application’ link, click the ‘My Applications’ button on the home screen, and then ‘launch’ next to your draft application.
If you have any problems in accessing or completing the application form, please contact us on the details below. You can also read our dedicated SSE Community Investment Portal FAQ section.
