Online grants applications now available to rugby clubs

The Rugby Football Foundation is now accepting applications online for its two capital funding grants streams.
The Rugby Football Foundation, a charitable trust set up by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to promote and develop community rugby, is now soliciting grant applications from rugby clubs online using Evenlogic’s eForms software.
The Foundation has two capital funding streams – a ground match scheme that provides grants of up to £5,000 and an interest free loan scheme that provides loans up to £100,000.

Clubs wishing to apply for funding before needed to complete a 20-page printed application form. Evenlogic has converted these forms into PDF electronic forms and installed them on a web server with a tailored version of Evenlogic’s eForms server software.
Now, applicants can fill in the forms on the Foundation’s website and submit their application over the web. Each application is password protected and prior to submission, users can save partially or fully completed forms to the web server. The forms can then be returned to later for further work, not only by the original applicant but by associates working at different locations.
When a completed form is submitted, a final PDF version is created on the server automatically and emailed to the RFU for evaluation, and to the applicant for their records.
The system is a .NET application and is hosted by Evenlogic on an eForms server.
