Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number

Entities must have an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number to receive grant funds. If your organization does not have a UEI, you can still apply for a grant but should start the SAM.gov process as soon as possible as it can take over a month.

The Environmental Protection Network (EPN) is offering SAM.gov registration office hours every two weeks on Wednesday from 12-1pm MST. EPN staff will help you begin, continue, or finish up your registration process. As a reminder, federal funding applicants must have an active SAM.gov and Grants.gov registration in order to apply.
