Find Your Program
Find your program
A Program is a program, collaborative effort, or investor opportunity that uses FieldDoc to collect information from participating organizations.
Finding the correct Funding Program is an important first step when you are using FieldDoc to meet an application or funding requirement.
Not all Programs provide user guidance in FieldDoc. If you have been asked to use FieldDoc but do not see the associated program listed here, contac support@fielddoc.com or your program manager for assistance.
What Is a Program?
A Program is managed by a funder, government agency, partnership, or other organization using FieldDoc to collect, review, or aggregate conservation and restoration data from other organizations.
A Funding Program may use FieldDoc to:
Collect proposed Activity information
Review mapped locations
Track implementation progress
Collect required metrics
Estimate environmental benefits
Support grant reporting
Combine results across many organizations
Each Funding Program may have its own instructions and data requirements.
Funding Programs, Opportunities, and Pacts structure
Funding Programs use Opportunities and Pacts to collect information.
An Opportunity represents a specific grant round, award year, reporting effort, or other reason that organizations are being asked to share records. Each opportunity has a unique code and period where users can create pacts within it.
A Pact connects your organization to that Opportunity.
For example:
Program: Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund Opportunity: 2026 Implementation Awards Pact: Your organization’s individual award
You use the Pact to share selected Activities with the Program Manager.
Create Your Pact
In reality, users need a pact code and that will create a pact within the correct opportunity. Basic and Standard users will never start by looking for a Program.
Missing your pact code? Reach out to the Program Manager of your Program or contact support@fielddoc.com if you do not know who that is.
Managing your Pact
The Pact is where you will create or link the Activities being supported by the award or included in the reporting effort.
Pacts are accessible and organized within their own tab on your workspace portfolio.
Review the Program Requirements
Each Program sets different data management expectations for the information that they are collecting in FieldDoc.
Requirements may include:
Specific naming conventions
Available Activity Types
Requirements for what to delineate as a geometry (ie general point, implementation footprint, county, etc.)
Planned and Completed Programmatic metrics
Environmental models
Status and implementation dates
Documents or images
Application or reporting deadlines
Review your program's unique Pact instructions before entering information. Requirements for one program may not apply to another.
