FEEA recognizes that the ongoing government shutdown is placing a significant and unexpected burden on many DHS employees and their families. Thanks to the generosity of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), a number of their members, and other individual donors, FEEA is once again able to offer a limited amount of short-term relief for essential needs.

Because funding is extremely limited, feds with an annual salary of $49,999 or less are eligible to apply to receive a $150 grant, and FEEA will only process complete applications within our funding limitations. If funding allows, grants will continue to be available for a short time, even if the shutdown ends.

For more information, eligibility requirements, and to submit an application, please visit our website below. https://feea.org/shutdown/sdgrantinfo/.
