VOUCHER Approval Schedule

The GAIN NE Voucher approval process follows a regular timeline, starting from each quarterly due date: January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31. If one of these dates falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), the due date is the following Monday.

GAIN accepts applications on a rolling basis and remains open to submissions at any time. Application review cycles, however, must follow the quarterly schedule and associated due dates. For information on GAIN NE Vouchers, contact Chris Lohse, Innovation & Technology Manager, at [email protected] or 925-698-9988.
