Help & FAQs
Make the most of the resources.
How do I view or export database results?
Open the database in a new tab using the button above. Lakeview’s database page provides full-screen and export instructions, including an alternative link for export issues.
Does the free database include every feature?
No. Lakeview distinguishes its free database from a fuller version with additional features. Do not assume that saved searches, opportunity tracking, or every filter is included in the free version. Review current details with Lakeview if you need more functionality.
How do I request coaching?
Use the NFFS member coaching request form (opens in a new tab). Have a brief project description, estimated budget, timeline, and questions ready. This form replaces the previously listed recurring office-hours link.
Do the templates replace a funder’s application forms?
Use the templates to organize your project information. Follow the funding organization’s required forms, instructions, and submission process for the actual application.
Does a database listing mean my project qualifies?
Each program has its own eligibility rules and deadlines. Verify the original funder’s current requirements before preparing an application.
