Each organization can only have one primary contact who can access, edit and submit their project application and any subsequent reporting.

Please ensure to check all mailboxes, including junk and spam. If there is no e-mail from the IAF Client Portal in any inbox, please contact us at funding(at)iafbc.ca

The IAF Client Portal is powered by a software called Fluxx.

Each IAF-delivered program has a unique set of Funding Acknowledgement Guidelines that successful clients must adhere to.

These are the guidelines that dictate how you communicate about your project to the public. From adding the appropriate funder logos to a report, to using a specific #Hashtag on social media, to including a funder in an announcement or event – and everything in between.

All public communication must be approved in advance. For details consult the program page or contact communications(at)iafbc.ca for details.

We recommend accessing the IAF Client Portal using a Chrome browser on a laptop or desktop computer for best results.

Check for Completeness

This feature allows you to identify and correct any missing information ahead of time. By flagging incomplete sections of the application early, you can ensure your application is fully prepared once submissions open, saving time and reducing stress. Note – this does not check for eligibility. It just checks that all the required boxes are complete.

How to Check your Application

  1. Locate the “Check for Completeness” button. At the bottom right corner of your application, you’ll find a button labeled “Check for Completeness.”
    • If you’re actively filling out the application, you will first need to click “Save & Close.”
    • After saving, the “Check for Completeness” button will appear.
  2. After clicking “Check from Completeness,” the IAF Client Portal will automically scan your application for missing information.
  3. If any information is missing, a red message will apear at the top of the application clearly outlining what needs attention.
  4. Simply edit your application to add the missing details. Remember to hit “Save” or “Save & Close” to ensure your edits are saved on the application!

You can run the “Check for Completeness” feature as many times as needed to ensure your application is ready for submission.
