FY 2025 EDA Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance Programs
Posted by Economic Development Administration
Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — FY 2025 EDA Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance Programs — is cataloged under number PWEAA2023 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 11.300;11.307, posted by Economic Development Administration. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as open, first posted on March 14, 2023 and last updated on September 18, 2025. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $100,000 -- $30,000,000. It expects to issue 3000 awards. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is open, but Grants.gov has not published a hard closing date — check the official listing for the current deadline and any posted amendments. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.
