Overview of Services

What is the Grant Assistance Program?

GAP is a program that ESRI provides free of charge to help GIS users in need of finding funding opportunities and provide assistance to users applying for funding. ESRI grant coordinators research and review grant opportunities, mostly from federal agencies, and select those that have directives that could be best achieved by utilizing GIS. We then offer GIS users assistance in finding and applying for these grant opportunities.

Assistance Services

Grant-related assistance depends on available staff time and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Grant assistance may consist of a customized funding solution report including

• A grant search, identifying grants that will meet your project and eligibility needs
• A summary document that provides basic information about these grants (such as award value, a description of the grant, and deadlines)
• The federal guidance and application documents for these grants

Once you have identified a grant to apply for, you may request additional help in the grant application process by using the Request Assistance form. Assistance offered will vary based on your needs and ESRI staff availability.
