1. First, make sure you’re logging in on the right page. The logo in the upper left hand corner will indicate which foundation’s page you are on. If you are attempting to log in on the general Pacific Foundation Services (PFS) page, which has the PFS logo in the upper left hand corner, you will get an error message. If you are on the PFS page, you can use the links provided to access an individual foundation.

Contacts
I’ve noticed a lot of old contacts, can I delete them?
Unfortunately, you cannot delete a staff person from the system. However, you can edit their title by adding the word former (i.e. Former Executive Director), which will alert our staff to the fact that the staff person is no longer with your organization.
How do I add the Executive Director (or another staff person) as a contact?
1. Start by clicking on the link for your organization profile:
2. Then, in the upper left hand corner, click on New and select Contact from the drop down menu:
3. Using the new contact form, enter the contact’s information:
Proposals
Why am I seeing so many draft proposals?
If you click the New Proposal icon, instead of the Current Proposals icon on your homepage, you will automatically create a new draft. Once you have started a draft, please always be sure to access it using the Current Proposals icon and NOT the New Proposal icon.
How do I access a saved draft of a proposal I’m working on?
Click on the Current Proposals icon on your home page:

I’ve uploaded all of the required documents, but I keep getting an error message when I try to submit, saying I haven’t uploaded all the required documents.
