Requesting Payment

You may request funds for reimbursement at any time through Easygrants and for any amount up to the final 10% of the total award amount, which is typically held back until final reports are submitted. If you wish to request an advance, please e-mail your Grants Administrator so they can assign you a task in Easygrants. You must detail how the funds will be used and provide justification and a timeline for expected disbursement of these funds. A request of an advance of funds must be due to an imminent need of expenditure. If you are requesting funds for an acquisition or easement, please tell your GA so they can assign you the right task.

In order to be eligible for payment, you must have a signed agreement with NFWF, have a completed Vendor Setup Form on file with NFWF, and have submitted any required reports. If you have not completed one or more of these tasks, please contact your Grant Administrator for assistance.

NFWF makes payments at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month except for the month of January, in which NFWF makes payments only in the middle of the month.

If you request an electronic payment (rather than a check) and your project has multiple funding sources (which are identified on page one of your grant agreement), you may receive multiple electronic payments that total the amount you requested.

For more details and step-by-step instructions please download our Payment Request Guide.
