# Applicant Milestones

## This article is for Applicants who have been awarded a Grant and the Grant Application is approved.

#### Milestone Overview

* Milestones ensure Grant Administrators that you are fulfilling your commitments. Admins create milestones to gather up-to-date and relevant information from you, keeping you accountable.
* Milestones contain at least one deliverable for you to complete. Common examples of requested deliverables include progress updates, expense reports and receipts for expenses.
* You must receive and complete at least one Milestone in order to receive Grant funding. For larger Grants, it is common that you will be required to complete multiple Milestones, with funds being paid out in stages (draw downs).
* All Milestones have a due date so it is important to look out for these.

* [Completing & Submitting Milestones](#completing-and-submitting-milestones)

* [Respond to Resubmission Request](#respond-to-resubmission-request)
* [Milestone Payment](#milestone-payment)

### Completing & Submitting Milestones

Now that your Application has been Accepted, wait for the Administrator to send you a Milestone. When this arrives:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### A task appears in My Tasks

A task will be created on the **My Tasks** section of your Dashboard. Click **View Milestones.**

![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/WNKO0XwGmxbEl6d5R4rq/c2Oa90O2GDGJlHBNhxtof0xs_Gh%20kX%20OY0vr_%20MwsuKYaGMHmDC5LUnR3FKPX8xKOrnMVJMas5Wn7EXwl9b8mzybc6QFYw3bGnX77L1qOpzolnt8MqPjcHGLOx5NY2LULHR1sXmO)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click Complete

Click **Complete.** ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/Md7jmmlxVz7nK8H1830i/zdeqSOw%206akKCytp6ZUMyPC_nB1R99IWdJT92YM%20kdqx2Qd9Nyen1Twjo8Dezlo2eLK6ZVtXGOfJ2y30TVEdV6ypg4B5HX99gu6CYN70TALstY4NSUqyC4h7RMgczXrj4FYpsZYK)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review Milestone Details

You will be redirected to the Milestone Details.

* **Amount:** is the amount of funding you will receive after all Milestone deliverables are completed and approved. If this shows **N/A**, the Milestone is non-monetary — there is no payment attached to it, and you won't see a Payments tab.
* **Due Date:** you must complete and submit all deliverables by this date.
* **Description:** overview of the Milestone.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete Deliverables

Review the details, then click **Complete Deliverables.** ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/PsdRp8U3sm3LhRMN3Nx5/0MUO69VtKpMqqMHSjHWSZHM%20cfHmdYUfZGPvfHrifAMETAc10_8CD%20VECiEiu_N7NrKukA8yO7rfUmFINlXE_kiHunYXgwrR7P5DlSgntoxNk8qdSdb8BGRcHhUnvrweG9ScckVM)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill out each deliverable and submit

Review and complete each Milestone deliverable, then click **Submit.** ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/HwhGfyf4J4ka1xBbQvmu/Avec_cOCzdq0NYl%20_oc%20nM0UKmgdvVuwQbqCIiCfpSkyriP9ZjnZ1lT5igXVPFu5yh5Wb1OAv_tgi4DAKjOsMaBn61miSESvwcSdK6UyPnWYJxex7OTCENaQMXhQjhczs3Gn7R4D)

Finally, click **Submit Milestone.** ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/u4XQiaAmjCSWwlzfnV1N/EjilE79pZLioH2xYNwpC0xwyEkoYntZIk5AbOmsfFYyCmx3SvuKdPRfM_89wjQZ3N31vogZvuOblwo5B2oaJVQqbRESiEFhlltimMXj1Gnt_BaQkj5VFNCkGFiqrXg6wx48uGb%20G)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

After you submit a Milestone, an Administrator will review it. They can either approve all deliverables, or decline one or more.

If all deliverables are approved, the Milestone will be complete and the status will be “Approved”. No further action is required by you and you can expect to receive payment for the amount specified in the Milestone.

Some Milestones carry no payment. If the amount shows **$0**, you will need to wait for another Milestone to receive funds. If it shows **N/A**, the Milestone is non-monetary and no payment will follow — approval is all that was required.

Tip: The [Conversation](https://7962011.hs-sites.com/knowledge/conversation) feature is useful during the Milestone process.

### Opening a Milestone from the Milestones Menu

As well as the **My Tasks** route above, you can go to the **Milestones** menu at any time to see all of your Milestones and their statuses.

How you open a Milestone from this list matters:

* **Clicking the Milestone title** opens the Milestone's details — the amount, due date and description. This is a summary page, and the deliverables form is not on it.
* **Clicking the button at the right-hand end of the row** takes you straight into the deliverables form, ready to fill in.

On a **phone or tablet** that button is replaced by a **⋮ menu** (three dots) at the right-hand end of the row. Tap the three dots, then tap the option that appears.

The wording changes depending on the status of the Milestone:

* **Complete** — a new Milestone you haven't started
* **Resubmit** — changes have been requested, see [Respond to Resubmission Request](#respond-to-resubmission-request)
* **View** — already submitted or approved, so it opens as a read-only copy

{% hint style="info" %}
**Opened a Milestone but there's nowhere to type?**

If you're looking at a Milestone and can't enter any answers, you're most likely on the details page rather than the deliverables form. This happens easily on a phone, where it's natural to tap the Milestone title.

Go back to the **Milestones** menu, find the Milestone in the list, and use the **⋮ menu** (three dots) at the right-hand end of its row — or the **Complete** button if you're on a computer. That takes you into the form you can fill in.
{% endhint %}

***

### Respond to Resubmission Request

After you submit your Milestone, it will be reviewed by at least one Grant Administrator. If the reviewer declines one or more deliverables, the Milestone will be resubmitted to you. Its status will be “Resubmission Requested”.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### A task appears in My Tasks

A task will be created on the **My Tasks** section of your Dashboard. ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/UE2OYD9mHWbG49Zb9Ei3/p7L5KEBuXfCfONlBcCtR57B0jEYlX4DwlbWOnlANhrYwX2Pom4q7RLRD29Z%2017HSJ9lQY64YwqVH0omvvVmTK1Bp_QRH9c1JrtEfFuhp7wmLB9PN4kpS0B3bYXoNCoiLXh1d_OCo)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### View and Resubmit

Click **View and Resubmit.** You will be directed to the deliverables form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Identify resubmissions requested

Look for deliverables that say “Resubmissions requested”.

![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/49pNEQ4fXNtxv0yJ5jgn/blobs/M3GvaVMCS86SMwSAYRDN/3vz%20Y5wlaMkn2mWRawUcdrH8UinF71Xt3jM%20yIVtTzf9cq6Kv_aCzioRaf_8QM8NX_pPjM%20AX6C%20l9AIsChpeBSswzEnpWZsdayrqdMRJ%20i63A5WV5bErpNI0GAIOAHjojFMLTAo)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review feedback and amend

Review the reason for the request and respond accordingly. When you are satisfied with your amendments, click **Submit.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Resubmit Milestone

Then click **Resubmit Milestone.**

After you resubmit a Milestone, an Administrator will review it again. The status will be “Submitted”. They can either approve all resubmitted deliverables, or decline one or more again.

If any deliverables are declined again, you will need to repeat the resubmission process.

Alternatively, if all deliverables are approved, the Milestone will be “Approved”. No further action is required by you and you can expect to receive payment for the amount specified in the Milestone. If the funding amount is **$0**, or the amount shows **N/A** because the Milestone is non-monetary, you won't receive payment.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Tip: You can also access your Application via the Milestones menu. Look for any Milestones that have the status “Resubmission requested”. Click **Resubmit**, then **Resubmit Deliverables.**

### Milestone Payment

After the Milestone is completed and signed off by the Grant Administrator, the status of the Milestone will be “Approved”. At this stage the Administrator can pay funds in part or in full. After the Grant is paid in full, and you anticipate that no further Milestones will be issued, the Grant process is complete.

You can see the status on your Milestones list (Not paid, partially paid, or paid).

Tip: At any stage, you can view the payments submenu of your Milestone. Here you can see amounts paid, paid date and the outstanding amount due for that Milestone (note: this is not necessarily the outstanding balance of the grant but rather the outstanding balance of the Milestone).

{% hint style="info" %}
**No Payments tab on your Milestone?**

If the Milestone's amount shows **N/A**, it is non-monetary — no payment is attached to it, so the Payments tab is not shown. Nothing has gone wrong and there is nothing for you to chase.
{% endhint %}
