One of the biggest hurdles a grant applicant encounters is completing their SAM.gov registration. An active SAM.gov registration is an essential first step for organizations seeking federal grants and contracts. This webinar will guide participants through the SAM.gov registration process, from creating an account and obtaining a Unique Entity ID to completing entity validation and maintaining an active registration. Because activation can take up to 10 business days, understanding these requirements early can help organizations remain eligible and prepared when federal funding opportunities become available.
By joining this webinar, you will be able to:
- Understand SAM.gov registration requirements.
- Navigate the primary steps of entity registration and recognize common issues that may delay approval.
- Maintain accurate account information and renew the organization’s registration every 365 days to remain eligible for federal funding.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
- Grant managers / Grant writers
- Federal grants administrators
- Government finance directors
- Chief financial officers
- Budget analysts
- City managers
* Please note the Q and A portion of the webinar will only be available for live event attendees.
