[Applying for a Funding Opportunity](https://support.surepact.com/funding-opportunities-for-applicants-recipients?hsLang=en#applying-for-a-funding-opportunity) # Accessing an Open (Public) Opportunity To access a funding opportunity whose selection process is open (public), all you need is the SurePact-generated opportunity URL. This link will come from the funding body, whether via website, email, social media, etc.  ***Note:** The other type of funding selection process is closed (invite-only).*    Open the URL and read the opportunity details.  ![Picture](https://support.surepact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-35-4518-AM.png?width=670&height=466&name=undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-35-4518-AM.png)   To start the application process, scroll down to find the **Log In** link. If you don’t yet have login credentials, you’ll need to [create an account](https://support.surepact.com/creating-a-surepact-account?hsLang=en) by selecting **Register** .     ![Picture](https://support.surepact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-44-4006-AM.png?width=670&height=232&name=undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-44-4006-AM.png)   ***Note:** Anyone applying to an open funding opportunity will need to register for SurePact to apply. By default, applications will work in SurePact’s Application Portal – our free product. Applicants who choose to subscribe to SurePact Premium can also apply for the opportunity, and can also take advantage of a more robust applicant experience, including modules for grants, projects, contracts, and portfolios, in addition to opportunities.*    Once signed into your account, the program to which you want to apply will be listed on the **Funding Opportunities** page, where you can [start the application process](https://support.surepact.com/starting-an-application?hsLang=en).    ![Picture](https://support.surepact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-52-7250-AM.png?width=660&height=797&name=undefined-Jun-30-2025-02-53-52-7250-AM.png) **Important:** If you have already started an application submission, you will be able to find it in the **Applications** list. Please avoid selecting "Apply" again (from the Funding Opportunity page) - this will create a new application submission and you could end up with multiple submissions all in progress.   - [Getting Started (For All Users)](https://support.surepact.com/getting-started-for-all-users?hsLang=en) - [Funding Programs (For Grantmakers)](https://support.surepact.com/funding-programs-for-grantmakers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating & Managing Funding Programs](https://support.surepact.com/funding-programs-for-grantmakers?hsLang=en#creating-managing-funding-programs) - [Application Round(s) Setup](https://support.surepact.com/funding-programs-for-grantmakers?hsLang=en#application-rounds-setup) - [Application Review, Allocations, Funding Agreements](https://support.surepact.com/funding-programs-for-grantmakers?hsLang=en#application-review-allocations-funding-agreements) - [Program Delivery and Reporting](https://support.surepact.com/funding-programs-for-grantmakers?hsLang=en#program-delivery-and-reporting) - [Funding Opportunities (For Applicants & Recipients)](https://support.surepact.com/funding-opportunities-for-applicants-recipients?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Applying for a Funding Opportunity](https://support.surepact.com/funding-opportunities-for-applicants-recipients?hsLang=en#applying-for-a-funding-opportunity) - [Tracking & Managing Applications](https://support.surepact.com/funding-opportunities-for-applicants-recipients?hsLang=en#tracking-managing-applications) - [Grant Management & Reporting](https://support.surepact.com/grant-management-reporting?hsLang=en) - [SurePact Records](https://support.surepact.com/surepact-records?hsLang=en) - [Portfolios](https://support.surepact.com/portfolios?hsLang=en) - [Projects & Contracts](https://support.surepact.com/projects-contracts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Project Management](https://support.surepact.com/projects-contracts?hsLang=en#project-management) - [Managing Contracts Within Projects](https://support.surepact.com/projects-contracts?hsLang=en#managing-contracts-within-projects) - [Risk, Compliance & Asset Management](https://support.surepact.com/risk-compliance-asset-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Risk & Issue Management](https://support.surepact.com/risk-compliance-asset-management?hsLang=en#risk-issue-management) - [Asset Management](https://support.surepact.com/risk-compliance-asset-management?hsLang=en#asset-management) - [Administration & System Setup](https://support.surepact.com/administration-system-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) - [External Assessors](https://support.surepact.com/administration-system-setup?hsLang=en#external-assessors) - [Common Processes](https://support.surepact.com/common-processes?hsLang=en) - [Release Notes & Support](https://support.surepact.com/release-notes-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What's New in Version 6?](https://support.surepact.com/release-notes-support?hsLang=en#whats-new-in-version-6) - [What?!
