Get Registered

In order to apply for a grant, you and/or your organization must complete the Grants.gov registration process.

The registration process for an Organization or an Individual can take between three to five business days or as long as two weeks if all steps are not completed in a timely manner. So please register early!

This registration process has been mandated by the Grants Executive Board (GEB) which is the governing body of Grants.gov. The GEB determined the registration process needed to be completed prior to the submission of a grant application.

*Please Note: If you register as an Organization, you will not be allowed to use the Grants.gov username and password issued for your Organization to apply for grants as an Individual. To apply for grants as an Individual you must register as an Individual and use that specific username and password issued during the Individual registration process.
