Impact Aid Grantees,

Happy New Year to the Impact Aid Community! Now is the time to start your Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 application.

Impact Aid Main Phone Line

The main telephone number for Impact Aid ((202) 260-3858) has been discontinued as planned. Please contact your State assigned analyst directly for any assistance and contact the analyst’s supervisor if you have not received a response within two business days.

FY 2025 Application Update by the Numbers

• FY 2025 applications are due on January 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
• Applications received after the deadline are assessed a 10% late penalty.
• To date, 64% of school districts that applied last year have not started an application.
• To date, 3% of school districts that applied last year do not have an active core user account for the Impact Aid Grant System (IAGS).

IAGS System Reminders

If you have not logged into the IAGS since August 29, 2023, you likely have not completed the required Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) setup process through Login.Gov.  For more information about account setup, visit this page on our portal November 2023 – News You Can Use.

Application Workshops

This month we will offer three application workshops for Section 7003 local educational agencies (LEAs) that have collected all of the necessary information to enter on the FY 2025 application but want guidance on entering it correctly in the IAGS.  Space will be limited, so please register for just one workshop on either 1/17, 1/18, or 1/23 at 2 p.m. Eastern time.  At the end of each workshop, most attendees will be able to confidently submit their application forward for signature.

New 7002 Videos

We’ve recording two new videos for 7002 applicants, covering the topics of eligibility, how to apply, and the payment formula.   You can find the videos by going to the Training menu on our website, or by clicking here.  Each video is best viewed in “full screen” mode and has a transcript and related links under the video playlist.
