1. Become a Professional Member

One person from your organization or project team will need an active Professional Living Future Membership ($250 USD/year) to register the project via the project Portal.

2. Create an account in Portal or log into your existing account

Sign into Portal directly using this link, or follow these instructions to create an account. NOTE: the Living Future Portal and Living Future Community are separate logins with separate credentials. We encourage members to use the same credentials across all Living Future platforms to minimize confusion.

3. Go to the Programs page and find the Zero Carbon Pilot program

Once in Portal, select View Programs or the Programs tab to see the programs offered.

This will take you to the Programs page:

Click Apply:

4. Create an application

Enter your project’s name and click Create Application.

5. Fill out the Zero Carbon Pilot Application

Under Your tasks, click on the Zero Carbon Pilot Application. 

Fill out the Zero Carbon Pilot Application  information. While almost all fields are required, the information in the application form can be edited later by Living Future staff, if necessary. If you do not know exact dates because your project is early in its lifecycle or post-construction, fill in these fields to the best of your ability.

6. Submit your application

Please note that the Zero Carbon Pilot Application is incomplete until you click Mark As Complete at the end of the application. 

You will receive a confirmation email when the application has been submitted. Living Future will review your application and notify you via email if your project has been accepted into the Pilot. Please note that not all projects that apply will be accepted. If you have any questions, please reach out to special.projects@living-future.org. 

7. If accepted, provide invoicing information

If your project is accepted into the Pilot, you’ll receive an email from noreply@mail.smapply.net requesting that you provide your invoicing information.

Access your Project in Portal. You will now be able to see a task called Invoicing Information. Click into the task to edit. 

When you’ve finished filling out the task, click Mark as Complete.

Living Future will issue your invoice in 2-3 business days. Once the invoice is paid, your application will be moved to documentation submission. 

Thank you for applying to the Zero Carbon Pilot! If you have any questions, please reach out to special.projects@living-future.org.
