If your organization is experiencing difficulties due to flooding in the federally-designated disaster relief areas, you may request an extension to complete your application by emailing or calling NEA’s program staff (Contact Us).

If you are granted an extension, NEA staff will notify you and reopen your application in the Applicant Portal. The extended Part 2 application deadline will be Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Applications will not be accepted after this date and time.
