About this program
The Small Business Administration funds grants and cooperative agreements to organizations providing technical assistance, training, counseling, and specialized services to small businesses recovering from natural disasters under CFDA 59.064, with the most recent grant award dated September 28, 2018. Program activity is not current. A total of 27 awards have been disbursed since 2013, with the award cadence declining sharply: 25 awards in 2013, then only one award in 2017 and one in 2018. Combined federal dollars obligated total $17.8 million, with negligible cost-share ($17.9 million combined).
The program funds technical assistance delivery related to disaster recovery, response, and long-term resiliency to small business communities affected by qualifying natural disasters. Eligible recipients include institutions of higher education (land-grant colleges, business schools, engineering schools, agriculture schools, community colleges, junior colleges), private nonprofit organizations with experience training and counseling business owners, and organizations demonstrating ability to provide services to disaster-affected small businesses. Cooperative Agreements dominate the assistance-type mix, representing 93 percent of awards; Formula Grants account for 7 percent.
Funding is distributed across two SBA entities. The Small Business Administration Office of Performance Management and the Chief Financial Officer leads by federal dollars obligated, with 9 awards totaling $11.9 million; the Small Business Administration proper issued 18 awards totaling $5.9 million. Representative recent awards include a $5.9 million Cooperative Agreement (SBAHQ13E0007, September 1, 2013) for Entrepreneurial Development Disaster Assistance, a $1.8 million Cooperative Agreement (SBAHQ13B0072, April 1, 2013) also for disaster assistance, and a $472,905 Formula Grant (SBAHQ18Y0124, September 28, 2018) for microloan technical assistance. Applications are submitted electronically through www.grants.gov in accordance with program announcements posted there.
