Preparedness Grants Application Process

  1. Preparing to Apply
  2. Reading a NOFO
  3. Applying for a Grant

Preparing to Apply

  1. Determine whether your organization was previously assigned a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number when applying for federal assistance; the numeric DUNS system was phased out of use on April 4, 2022 and replaced by the alphanumeric Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) system.
    • If your organization was previously assigned a DUNS Number, it has been replaced by a new UEI value. Login to sam.gov to check your new UEI.
    • If your organization has not previously applied for federal assistance, move on to Step 2 below; you will automatically be assigned a UEI when registering in sam.gov.
  2. Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and register in the System for Award Management at sam.gov; your organization will be assigned a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) once registered.
  3. Register with grants.gov.
  4. Create an account with FEMA’s Non-Disaster Grants Management System (ND Grants)
  5. Review details on each of the Preparedness Grant Programs to determine which grant(s) is the best fit for your organization.
