Understanding the Grant Statuses
There are seven possible grant statuses:
Submitted: Your grant has been submitted for review.
Pending: The grant recommendation has been submitted, but the charity has not yet completed the due diligence process. If your grant remains in pending status for more than five business days, please contact care@bluegive.org, as there may be a processing issue.
Approved: Charity due diligence was completed and charity found to be eligible. In addition the grant note was reviewed for incidental benefit. The grant recommendation is then deemed approved
Funding in Progress: The grant money has been initiated to disbursement account; grant payments are prepared, reviewed, approved, and then released and sent to charity.
Grant Deposited By Charity: The grant has been received by charity (the charity has cashed the check or the ACH payment has cleared their account)
Grant Rejected: The request did not meet eligibility criteria.
Grant Canceled by User: The user canceled the grant submission.
