Within Good Grants, grant managers can request one pre-launch check per season. A pre-launch check is a review of your program setup before opening for applications and includes:
- A technical check of the program configuration, excluding reviewing
- The submission of one test application
- Notes on how to improve the program and application form for applicants and reviewers
- Additional recommendations that may be helpful
- A PDF report summarising all findings
How to request a pre-launch check
- Complete the 'Pre-launch check' checklist located in the Guides and tours section of your account
- At the final step, click the Request a pre-launch check link
- Follow the prompts
Why we don’t provide a reviewing pre-launch check
Reviewing configurations vary significantly from program to program. We cannot determine whether the correct reviewers have been assigned, whether criteria are matched to the right categories, or whether the workflow aligns with your intended reviewing process.
However, we are happy to discuss your reviewing setup in a one-to-one consultation. Simply request a session and a member of our team will arrange this with you.
Good to know
- Ensure the season you want reviewed is set to active.
- Grant managers must conduct their own internal testing to confirm the applicant experience meets their expectations.
- When requesting a pre-launch check, include the start date of your application round to help the team schedule support.
