GRANTS.GOV

Grants.gov is a database of grant programs that award billions of dollars annually.  Most grants are available only to non-profits, academic institutions, associations, and state and local government agencies. The grant’s purpose and use determines Applicant Eligibility.

 
The best place to begin a grant search is at the official Government Grant Website, http://grants.gov/. This website is user-friendly and easily navigated. Before you begin your grant search, you might want to check out the “Search Tips” section because it provides details on how grants are classified, website navigation tips, etc. Additionally, once your search results come up, you might want to sort them by their “close date” to ensure that you don’t waste time looking at grants with an expired application deadline.
 
Ways to search for grants:
 
1.      Basic Search - This type of search allows you to look for grants with specific keywords such as training, restoration, incentives, etc.
 
2.      Browse By Category - This section identifies grants by their respective category (health, education, natural resources, environment, energy, etc.)
 
3.      Browse By Agency - You can search for grants by a specific government agency (Department of Transportation, Homeland Security, EPA, etc.)
 
4.      Advance Search - In this section, you can search for multiple categories (Funding Number, Funding Activity, Eligibility, Funding Agency, etc.)
 
 
To apply for a Federal grant, you must register with Grants.gov., and the application process can take up to weeks to complete. Note: the username (business or individual name) you choose is not interchangeable.  If you register as an individual and then decide to apply for a grant for your business, you must register again for your company name. Be sure to read the registration process tutorials for tips to help with your registration process.
