It is always preferable to use an existing account if the organization has received prior funding; however, we understand that some organizations will have more than one person apply for funds. In these cases, each individual may create a unique logon for the organization. As long as the same FEIN number is noted, GNWKCF can combine the accounts on the back-end of the system. In this case, just follow the process to create a new logon.
If you want to use an existing account but cannot recall the logon information, click on the “FORGOT PASSWORD” button to have a password reset. If you do not remember the email account associated with the account, please call our office for assistance at 785-734-2406 or email us at [email protected].
