Fluxx: New Grants Management Platform

We are excited to transition to our new Grants Management Portal on Fluxx. This new system will streamline applications, reporting, and communication—making it easier for you to manage your grants all in one place.

Take Action today: Register in Fluxx!

To use the grant portal, all partners must register and set up their account. Please take a few minutes today to complete this step and confirm you can access Fluxx. 

Fluxx Resources – All Fluxx support materials are located on OFB Portals. We will post additional resources here as we roll out all the features of Fluxx over the next several weeks.

What’s Coming Next

This is just the start! We will continue to build out resources and training materials in the coming weeks and post them to OFB Portals, including:

  • How to Submit a Grant Report in Fluxx
