Grant In Aid – Grants Management System

Grant-in-Aid (GIA) is an appropriation made by the General Assembly to support the activities of non-profit organizations that provide services to the citizens of Delaware. The purpose of this funding is to provide supplemental funding to service agencies and should not be construed as a sole source of funding. To see if you qualify for GIA, click here.

The Grants Management System requires a “My.Delaware.gov” account for access.

Existing or returning Grant-in-Aid applicants should use their My Delaware credentials to access the system. 

If you or your organization has never registered in the Grants Management System, you should review the My Delaware
Grants Management System Registration Guide to prepare for the initial registration process.

What’s New

Due to the passage of House Bill 208 of the 153rd General Assembly, the use of checks for payments to GIA awardees has been eliminated. It is highly encouraged that all GIA recipients select ACH (Automated Clearing House), also known as direct deposit, as a payment option. This will provide payment directly to the bank account provided through the State of Delaware's Division of Accounting’s eSupplier Portal with no associated fees for each payment transmitted.

The eSupplier Portal allows GIA awardees to manage their payment information. Accurate and up-to-date information ensures the timely processing of GIA payments. The Division of Accounting website provides additional information regarding the two payment options the State of Delaware offers.
