FY2025 Disaster Supplemental Grant Program
Background
The EDA Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Disaster Supplemental Grant Program makes approximately $1.45 billion available to support economic recovery activities in areas that received major disaster declarations because of hurricanes, wildfires, severe storms and flooding, tornadoes, and other natural disasters occurring in calendar years 2023 and 2024. President Trump and Secretary Lutnick are committed to unleashing the potential of the American economy, affording all Americans the opportunity to pursue their version of the American dream. EDA’s FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support communities recovering from major disasters and set them on a path to exceed pre-disaster conditions and transform their local economies in new and vibrant ways.
What Is EDA’s FY25 Disaster Supplemental Grant Program?
The EDA FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental NOFO is available on grants.gov and eda.gov. EDA funding can support both construction and non-construction projects.
EDA’s Disaster NOFO provides funding through three funding pathways:
- Readiness Path – Capacity building and strategic planning projects that set the stage for future investment.
- Implementation Path – Standalone construction and non-construction projects that help communities recover from natural disasters and advance recovery and growth.
- Industry Transformation Path – Coalition-led, multi-project portfolios that transform regional economies through targeted industry development.
Notice of Funding Opportunity
Applications for Readiness and Implementation grants will be accepted on an ongoing (rolling) basis. Applications for Industry Transformation grants are due March 3, 2026 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. EDA anticipates strong demand for this program and encourages applicants to submit proposals as soon as they are viable and ready, and to work with their local Economic Development Representatives (EDR) to prepare a competitive proposal.
Eligible applicants district organizations of an Economic Development District (EDD), Indian tribes, state and local governments, institutions of higher education, public or private nonprofits working with local governments, economic development organizations, and public-private partnerships for public infrastructure. Individuals and for-profit entities are not eligible for funding under this NOFO. Typically, EDA will fund up to 80% of project costs (up to 100% for Tribal and severely distressed applicants).
