   • Note: If your organisation doesn’t have an ABN, you’ll need to apply for one before continuing. Follow the instructions in the error message for the next steps.

   • Your ABN details will be pre-populated from the previous screen. If you need to update them, click the “back” button.
2. Click “Verify” to validate your ABN.
   • Note: If the validation fails, it might be because your ABN or incorporation details don’t match official records.
3. Enter your ACN (Incorporation Number) and click“Verify” to validate.
   • Note: If the validation fails, it may be due to your incorporation details do not match official records

Step 5: Accept the Terms and Conditions

   • If your sport isn't listed, choose "Other" and type in the sport name.
2. Read and agree to the ASF Grant Agreement by ticking the checkbox.

3. Click "Create Account" to submit your application.

Step 6: Await Approval

Once you’ve submitted your application, one of two things will happen:

1. If all criteria are met, your account will be automatically approved.
2. If further review is needed, your application status will move to “Pending Approval”. The ASF Fundraising Support Team will review it, and you’ll get an email once it’s been processed.
