Ask Flexy
This chatbot searches a curated collection of resources reviewed and approved by the Strategic Funding and Finance (SFF) team to provide answers about funding flexibility, blending, and braiding strategies. Its responses are grounded in these trusted sources and are not based on information from the open internet.
This tool is intended to help users explore funding opportunities and options. It does not provide official program guidance or determine whether a specific use of funds is allowable. If you have questions about whether a particular use of funds is allowed, please contact your primary State Education Agency or U.S. Department of Education representative.
