All Online Funding Inquiries (OFI’s) are submitted electronically using the Templeton Portal. To complete an OFI please follow these three steps:

1. Go to the Templeton Portal [1] either to login or to create an account. Creating an account involves just a few simple steps
2. Once you are logged in, your “My Dashboard” page allows you to create and manage your Online Funding Inquiry.
3. Creating a new Online Funding Inquiry requires the following information:
   • Request Type: Select the appropriate Request Type for the OFI you will be submitting. The Request Type is a menu of choices corresponding to either a Core Funding Area or one of our Funding Priorities.
   • Prescreen: Review the request Prescreen questionnaire, which explains the types of projects the Foundation does not support.
   • Project Information: Describe the details of your project.
   • Personnel Information: Provide contact information for the people associated with your request.
   • Organization Information: Tell us about the organization affiliated with your request.
   • Review and Submit: This summary page allows you to review your answers and submit your Online Funding Inquiry to the Foundation.

Please note that you are free at any time to save your work in the Templeton Portal and return later to complete your OFI. After completing your OFI you must Submit it to the Foundation by pressing the “Submit” button on the Review and Submit page. Once submitted you will not be able to edit your OFI further.
