Program-level eligibility from SAM.gov. Each funding notice sets its own requirements.
Range and average of financial assistance (from the listing): Treasury is only able to provide information on obligations for past fiscal years. The amount of funding available in FY 2025 will depend on the trust fund allocated to each eligible entity and the amount of funding obligated in FY 2025 will depend on the amount requested by each eligible entity for their respective projects. This program does not have pre-established award amounts or total obligation amounts. Instead, Treasury obligates funding based on the requests received from eligible entities, as long as that amount does not exceed the net allocation amount available in the Trust Fund to the respective entity. Past projects have ranged from $40,000 to over $20,000,000. Under no circumstances will award amounts exceed the amount available in the entity’s Trust Fund account.
