Due to uncertainties at the federal level, the 2025 Mini-Grant series has been paused. Once we have our FY25 allocation, we will reevaluate this decision and make a plan for the remainder of the year. Thank you for your understanding.

Mini-Grant Frequently Asked Questions

UNIQUE ENTITY ID

On April 4, 2022, the unique entity identifier used across the federal government changed from the DUNS Number to the Unique Entity ID (generated by SAM.gov).

The Unique Entity ID is a 12-character alphanumeric ID assigned to an entity by SAM.gov.
As part of this transition, the DUNS Number has been removed from SAM.gov.
Entity registration, searching, and data entry in SAM.gov now require using the new Unique Entity ID.
Existing registered entities can find their Unique Entity ID by following the steps here.
New entities can get their Unique Entity ID at SAM.gov and, if required, complete an entity registration.
