About BUILD Funding for 2019
- The FY 2019 Appropriations Act appropriated $900 million to be awarded by the DOT for National Infrastructure Investments.
- The maximum grant award is $25 million, the minimum amount is $5 million and no more than $90 million can be awarded to a single State.
- Applications must be submitted to Grants.gov. If you do not have a Grants.gov account, opening a new account takes 2-4 weeks to complete. If you have an existing account, you do not need to apply for a new one. Do not hesitate to contact us with further questions.
- In 2018, 851 eligible applications from all 50 states, as well as U.S. territories and the District of Columbia were submitted in response to the BUILD Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), nearly double the applicants received in 2017. Overall, applicants in 2018 requested more than $10.9 billion in funding.
- In 2018, 59 percent of the applications were for rural projects, and 62 projects were awarded to rural grant applications.
