Access the Chesapeake Bay Trust Awards Portal

We strongly encourage you to use the new system. You’ll still have access to the old system through the end of July 2026 (approximately), but Trust staff will be conducting work using the new system. Any submissions using the old system may result in a slight delay in a response from the Trust staff.

It should not. We’ve transferred all data from the old system. If you receive any errant or incorrect messages about outstanding or overdue requirements, please contract Trust staff.

No, not at this time.

The primary contact or project lead should manage the account. Additional collaborators can be added to each application and requirement, but only the primary contact will receive notifications related to the application/grant.

Any open requirements will have transferred over and can be accessed through the “Action Items” section of the home page under the “Reports and Contingencies” tab. If you had a partially completed requirement in Blackbaud Grantmaking that had not yet been submitted, those details will not have transferred over. You will need to restart your requirement in the new portal. You can watch a video on this process at cbtrust.org/login under Getting Started.

Please click save draft, then “Submit” to move past the quiz.

Whoever resets the password and logs into the account first will gain access to the account.

Check your spam/junk folder. If you find the reset email there, please add that email address to your safe senders list to prevent future system emails from being routed to your spam folder. If you haven’t received an email after five minutes, please contact Trust staff for additional assistance.

On the home page, click ‘forgot password’. This will send a link to reset your password to the email tied to your account.

Email grantadmin@cbtrust.org with your questions. We anticipate there will be some bumps, but hope to make this as smooth and simple a transition as possible.

Your old account was transferred and is set up for use in our new system. Click the ‘forgot password’ button and set a new password to gain access to your old account in the new portal. You can watch a video on this process at www.cbtrust.org/login under Getting Started.

Organization and Project Lead information cannot be edited on applications or reports. To make changes to this information, navigate to the home page and open the “My Profile” or “Organization Profile” modules. You can update your personal or organization information there.

Please ensure that pop-ups are enabled for the site. The Budget Details table is a pop-up window.

Applications and reports cannot be edited after they are submitted. If you need to make any edits, please reach out to Trust staff for assistance.
