Welcome to the Grant Summary Form
Our online grant application process allows grantseekers to complete, manage and submit grant requests. You may submit both the grant summary form and your two-page letter of inquiry through this online tool. Please note that both are required for Piper Trust to consider your grant request.
Before You Begin
You may want to review Basic Grant Request Information, which summarizes the information requested on the online grant summary form, and other items in the Grantseekers Toolbox (right). Reviewing this information will help you prepare your grant request.
Account Login
The system creates an individual password-protected account using your email address as the user. Your online account retains any grant summary form in progress and those submitted previously for historical reference. There are different links to access depending if you are a first-time user or a returning user.
Creating a new application
An “Account Login” window will appear and ask for your email address and then you will create a password. Log in as “I am a new online applicant.” The system will automatically create a grant summary form for you to complete online. Follow one of the following links to open the account.
Returning to application in progress
Log in as “I am a returning online applicant” using your email address and password. This link will take returning users to their existing application in an established account. Again, the account shows any grant summary form in progress and those already submitted for reference.
Start Now, Finish Later
You can start working on the grant summary form, save it and return later. To return to an online grant summary form in progress, use “Account Login” in Grantseekers Toolbox (right).
You may also want to bookmark this link for your convenience. Any open grant summary form (one in progress) will remain in your account for 120 days and only you can see it. Piper Trust cannot retrieve grant summary forms that have not been submitted.
Important User Tips
Do not use your browser’s back button! You will erase the work you’ve completed. Navigate through the grant summary form by clicking on the page number links at the top of each page, click on the “Next” button at the bottom of each page, or click the “Save and Finish Later” button and reopen the grant summary form when you return.
Save Frequently! Internet connections and other electronic interruptions can cause any unsaved work to be lost. We recommend that you draft the wording of your application in a separate document and then copy and paste it into the form. There is no timeout feature or logout feature; simply close the browser window when you are finished.
Printing Your Request
Before you submit your request, you can print out your grant request by clicking on “Printer Friendly Version” on any page.
Submitting Your Request
When you submit your request to Piper Trust online, an electronic version will automatically be saved in your account.
If you prefer to mail your grant request, complete the online form and print a “Printer Friendly Version” when you are finished. Mail the completed form and your letter of inquiry to:
Grants Manager
Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust
1202 East Missouri Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85014.
