All applications must be received by the established deadline established in each program’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The Non-Disaster (ND) Grants System has a date stamp that indicates when an applicant submits their application. Applicants will receive an electronic message confirming receipt of their submission. For additional information on how an applicant will be notified of application receipt, see the section titled “Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submissi on.” FEMA will not review applications that it receives after the deadline, nor will it consider these late applications for funding. FEMA may, however, extend the application deadline on request for an applicant who can demonstrate that good cause exists to justify extending the deadline. Good cause for an extension may include technical problems outside of the applicant’s control that prevent submission of the application by the deadline, other exigent or emergency circumstances, or statutory requirements for FEMA to make an award. Applicants experiencing technical problems outside of their control must notify the respective FEMA Preparedness Officer or Program Manager as soon as possible and before the application deadline. Failure to timely notify FEMA of the issue that prevented the timely filing of the application may preclude consideration of the award. “Timely notification” of FEMA means the following: prior to the application deadline and within 48 hours after the applicant became aware of the issue.
