# What to expect
## Application steps
1. First you will create an account and submit your application [here](https://grants.zfnd.org/create-request). This is the most important step, so please be as complete as possible! We need to know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and your experience with this kind of project.
To apply, please follow these steps:
1. First, create an account and submit your application [here](https://grants.zfnd.org/create-request). This is the most important step, so please be as complete as possible! We need to know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and your experience with this kind of project.
2. After you submit your application, it will be put into a queue to await moderator approval. Once your application is approved by a grants platform moderator, you will receive an email notification with a public link to your application.
3. When you receive the notification that your application is public, please post a link to it on the [Zcash Community Forum](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/c/Grants/Applications/36) in the "applicants" category. (This step is to gather community feedback about your project. Be ready for some honest feedback, questions, and engagement with Zcash community members!)
4. ZOMG will evaluate your application, review community feedback on a rolling basis, and post a preliminary _yes_ or _no_ to continue with the application process, in your forum thread.
5. If you receive a _no_, your application will be closed on the grants platform and an explanation will be posted on your forum thread.
6. If you receive a tentative _yes_, ZOMG may request improvements to your application and perform additional due diligence. For example, we may ask outside experts to weigh in on technical aspects your project, or we may ask you for more information about your project, background, or experience. You may also be required to add milestones tied to incremental payouts to assure project follow through.
7. ZOMG will vote during its bi-weekly meetings for a final approval or rejection of your grant. We strive to make this process as fast as possible while maintaining adequate due diligence. Our bi-weekly cadence means your application could be approved or rejected in just a few weeks.
8. You will be notified on the forums and the grants platform that your grant has been approved or rejected.
