Express Grants

  • The maximum amount for an Express Grant award is $1,000.
  • Applications are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis as long as funds are available.

  • Funds will be available within 48-hours of the award announcement.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  •  It is expected that the funds will start being used within 30-days of receiving the award notification. 
  • Express Grant funds are not unlimited. PCEF has a finite amount available. If you decide to not spend the award, please let PCEF Program Staff* know ASAP so the funds can fund another need.
