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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### 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.&#x20;

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.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## 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.&#x20;

### 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

{% hint style="warning" %}
Review your program's unique Pact instructions before entering information. Requirements for one program may not apply to another.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.fielddoc.org/getting-started/quickstart/find-your-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
