How to apply: step by step

  2. Get a UEI number. Your Unique Entity Identifier is assigned through SAM.gov and replaces the old DUNS number. You will need this on every federal application.
  3. Review the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Download the full NOFO from Grants.gov. Pay close attention to review criteria, budget limits, and required attachments.
  4. Prepare your application package. Most federal grants require a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capacity statement, and supporting documents. Follow the page limits and formatting rules exactly.
  5. Submit through Grants.gov. Create a workspace, upload all required forms and attachments, and submit before the July 24, 2026 deadline. The system timestamps your submission, and late applications are automatically rejected.
  6. Confirm receipt. You will receive a tracking number and confirmation email. Check back in 1-2 business days to verify your application passed the Grants.gov validation checks.
