Step Two:
Is My Company Eligible for GFT Funding This Fiscal
Year?
Qualification Tips
1. All company locations in Pennsylvania that have received
or applied for grants are counted when evaluating grant
applications for fiscal year eligibility. So even if your
location hasn't had a grant before that doesn't mean your
company hasn't used the grant. The company FEIN number is
what is used to determine if company locations are seperate
or counted together.
2. Plan ahead to maximize your grant funding over five
years. Accepting funds in any year counts against the
2 years in a row and 3 out of 5 years restrictions. If you
know you will be expanding company operations next year, your
company may NOT want to apply this year if it will make your
company ineligible next year!

Step Two: Determine if your company meets eligibility for
funding this fiscal year? If your company meets the basic qualifications
for a grant there are also calendar year restrictions on how often a company
can receive grants. Companies may not apply or receive GFT Job Training
Grants:
- More than two (2) years in a row (and/or )
- more than three (3) out of five (5) years.
You can check the status of prior year grant applications by entering
your company Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) in our
on-line Company Grant History Report. This report will quickly indicate
if your company is eligible for funding this fiscal year. This report
lists both WEDnetPA GFT Grants and Customized Job Training Grant (CJT)
approved applications. Both these grant types are counted when evaluating
fiscal year eligibility. The GFT Fiscal Year is July 1 to June
30th.
If you are not sure of your company FEIN number or need personal assistance
determining if your company qualifies for a grant this fiscal year, you
many also contact any WEDnetPA
Partner directly for assistance.
If your company qualifies proceed
to step three of the application process.
