Controller General to begin accepting General and Veteran’s Grant-In-Aid (GIA) applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 beginning on Tuesday, September 1, 2020
It is encouraged that you review the GIA website for additional information, including application instructions, registering a new account, frequently asked questions, appropriate use of funding, and more.
Below is the notice from the Controller General’s office:
Please be advised that the Office of the Controller General will begin accepting General and Veteran’s Grant-In-Aid (GIA) applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 beginning on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. The deadline for submission of these applications is Wednesday, December 2, 2020, at 11:59 p.m.
It is encouraged that you review the GIA website (https://gia.delaware.gov) for additional information, including application instructions, registering a new account, frequently asked questions, appropriate use of funding, and more.
Some important things to know before applying:
- Email addresses used to apply will be used for future communications regarding your application. To ensure efficient communication, it is strongly advised that your organization use an email address that is accessible by all members of your agency who are responsible for GIA.
- Organizations who receive, or who wish to receive, GIA funding are required to maintain a supplier profile at the State of Delaware’s eSupplier Portal (https://esupplier.erp.delaware.gov). This secure login site allows new suppliers to register and for existing suppliers to manage payment information. Accurate and up-to-date information ensures the timely processing of GIA payments. Additional information regarding the three payment options offered by the State of Delaware can be found here.
- Due to COVID-19 and construction activities at Legislative Hall, there are no plans to hold in-person or virtual workshops at this time. Organizations with specific questions about the application process are encouraged to contact the Office of the Controller General at (302) 744–4200, or by sending an email to GIA_Support@Delaware.gov. Inquiries by email are typically responded to within one business day.
- If you do not have access to your agency’s State of Delaware Single Sign-On (SSO) User Id and password that was used to apply for GIA last year, (and have already attempted to use the “Forgot User Id?” or “Forgot Password?” features without success), you will need to create a new User Id. Review and follow the steps in the Guide to Register for a New GIA Account. If you’d like to have your agency’s prior year application linked to the new account, then please email the new User Id, along with the first and last name, and email address used to create the new account to GIA_Support@Delaware.gov. Please note this process may take several days and may not be feasible if the deadline for application submissions is approaching.
- Prior year applicants may also contact the assigned Controller General Analyst to your agency’s respective GIA category with additional questions and guidance for the application process. Analyst assignments and contact information can be found towards the bottom of this page. If you are unsure of what category your agency falls under, you can determine this by reviewing the most recent Grants-In-Aid Act (Senate Bill 260).
Thank you for your time and attention as we embark upon a new Grant-In-Aid cycle.
