Fiscal Year 2025 Disaster Supplemental

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is now accepting applications through the FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Funded through supplemental appropriations, this grant program makes approximately $1.45 billion in disaster recovery funding available to American communities that received major disaster declarations due to hurricanes, wildfires, severe storms and flooding, tornadoes, and other natural disasters occurring in calendar years 2023 and 2024.   

The FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity is not just about rebuilding—it’s about transforming local economies after disaster, with an emphasis on improving communities’ economic outcomes and resilience to future disasters. This funding opportunity encourages broad-based local engagement and places special emphasis on projects that involve private industry in disaster recovery and economic renewal to ensure the maximum impact for taxpayer funding to support these communities. Applicants can choose from three funding pathways based on their recovery stage, capacity, and long-term development vision.    

• Readiness Path: Non-construction projects to build local capacity and prepare for future implementation projects. Readiness projects include funding for recovery strategies, disaster recovery coordinators or other capacity building activities, and pre-development expenses. Grant amounts are expected to range from $250,000 to $500,000. 

• Implementation Path: Standalone construction and non-construction projects that help communities recover from major disasters and advance recovery and growth, improving economic outcomes. Grant amounts are expected to range from $2 million to $20 million for construction projects and $100,000 to $5 million for non-construction projects.  

• Industry Transformation Path: Coalition-led, multi-project portfolios that transform regional economies through industry development. These grants can fund a mix of construction and non-construction projects. Grant amounts are expected to range from $20 million to $50 million. 

Eligible applicants include Tribal nations, state and local governments, public and private nonprofits working with government, economic development organizations, institutions of higher education, Economic Development Districts (EDD), and public-private partnerships for public infrastructure.
