Contracts

Good Grants allows account owners to create contracts which can be assigned to successful applications and signed by applicants. 

Create a contract

To create a new contract template, follow these steps:

1. In the Manage workspace, navigate to Grants > Contracts
2. Click New contract template
3. Provide a title for your contract
4. Add your contract text to the Content field, employing Markdown formatting or merge fields if desired
5. Click Save

Assign a contract to an application

When you're ready to assign a contract to a successful grant recipient, follow these steps:

1. From the Manage workspace, go to Applications
2. Click the name or ID of the application you want to add the contract to
3. Scroll to the 'Contracts' box and click Add contract
   
   
4. Open the drop-down and select your desired contract
   

Sign a contract

Once the contract has been saved to the application, it will add a Sign contract button to the applicant's view in the Apply workspace at Applications. 

The applicant can read and sign the contract by either drawing their name using their mouse or trackpad on the Draw tab, simply typing in their name using the Type tab, or by uploading a previously created signature in the Upload tab as shown below.

A timestamp for when the contract is signed will appear in the user's profile page along with a link to a PDF of the contract.
