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, review the Grant-in-Aid information page.

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

Upcoming Changes to Grant-in-Aid Eligibility and Requirements. House Bill 190, from the 153rd General Assembly, as amended, establishes new statutory requirements governing eligibility for Delaware Grant-in-Aid funding, application documentation, allowable uses of funding, and financial accountability. These requirements will take effect July 1, 2028, beginning with the Fiscal Year 2029 Grant-in-Aid application cycle.

Organizations that currently receive Grant-in-Aid funding, as well as organizations that may apply in the future, are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these requirements and begin preparing for compliance in advance of the effective date.
