The grant must be identified as approved for funding prior to connecting it to a gift. Go to the Grants grid under the Fundraising Module and click on the **Tools** menu, then **Edit**.

Change the Status to **Funded** and enter **Granted Date** and the amount to be received under **Granted Amount**. Click **Update** to save the changes.

Enter the new gift or edit the gift that has been entered associated with the grant and toggle the **Grant** button to **YES**. A pulldown menu will appear and you'll be able to select the proposals that have been funded by this constituent from the list. Click the appropriate green **Save** button at the top or bottom of the page to complete the entry.
