ezFedGrants (eFG) Grants and Agreements System
ezFedGrants is the USDA solution that will let you apply for and manage USDA grants and agreements online. It’s USDA’s OMB Circular A-123 system of record for processing Federal financial assistance transactions. It provides significant efficiencies to all users managing grant and agreement portfolios.

ezFedGrants System Unavailability
Due to a planned USDA Financial System upgrade implementation, ezFedGrants will be unavailable from Thursday, February 13, 2025, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET through Wednesday, February 19, 2025. This system outage impacts all users of the ezFedGrants system (External and Internal). The cutover could extend beyond February 19, and we will make sure to communicate to all ezFedGrants users if that occurs. When the cutover is complete, ezFedGrants will not have any changes and should appear the same to users. Please plan accordingly around this outage.
Thank you for your patience. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact ezFedGrants-cfo@usda.gov.
