III. Grant Application Process 

A. Pro Bono Innovation Fund Grant 

Application Process 

The PBIF application process is 

administered in LSC’s unified grants 

management system, GrantEase. 

Applicants must first submit a PreApplication to LSC in GrantEase by 

January 16, 2024, to be considered for a 

grant. After review by LSC Staff, LSC’s 

President decides which applicants will 

be asked to submit a full application. 

Applicants will be notified of approval 

to submit a full application by early 

March 2025. Full applications are due to 

LSC in the GrantEase system on May 5, 

2025. Once received, full applications 

will undergo a rigorous review by LSC 

staff and other subject matter experts. 

LSC’s President makes the final decision 

on funding for the Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund. 

B. Late or Incomplete Applications 

LSC may consider a request to submit 

a Pre-Application after the deadline, but 

only if the Applicant has submitted an 

email to probonoinnovation@lsc.gov 

explaining the circumstances that 

caused the delay prior to the PreApplication deadline. Communication 

with LSC staff, including assigned LSC 

Special Grant staff members, is not a 

substitute for sending a formal request 

and explanation to probonoinnovation@

lsc.gov. At its discretion, LSC may 

consider incomplete applications. LSC 

will determine the admissibility of late 

or incomplete applications on a case-bycase basis. 

C. Multiple Pre-Applications 

Applicants may submit multiple Preapplications under the same or different 

funding category. If applying for 

multiple grants, applicants should 

submit separate Pre-applications for 

each funding request. 

D. Additional Information and 

Guidelines 

Additional guidance and instructions 

on the Pro Bono Innovation Fund PreApplication and Application processes, 

will be available and regularly updated 

at https://www.lsc.gov/grants-granteeresources/our-grant-programs/pro-bonoinnovation-fund.
