How to apply

DFA is not currently accepting new applications for funding under the EDWG Program. For the initial round(s) of funding, DFA staff are identifying projects for which DFA has already received partial or complete DWSRF program applications, or that are receiving technical assistance, that qualify under the EDWG Guidelines, and selecting preliminary funding award recipients from these existing applicants. Thereafter, subject to availability, DFA will periodically announce a deadline to submit project proposals for consideration. Applications are submitted using the Financial Assistance Application Submittal Tool (FAAST).
