Читать книгу Grant Writing For Dummies - Stan Hutton, Beverly A. Browning - Страница 18

The first place to look for big pots of money is in Uncle Sam’s closet of federal funding agencies. In Chapters 4 and 5, I explain public-sector grants and wade through the main federal e-grant portal, Grants.gov.

Many newly established nonprofit organizations think that they should apply for government grants before raising seed funding from local foundations and corporations. Your organization needs an established, credible track record for implementing, evaluating, and prudently managing funding from smaller fish in the sea before jumping into the federal grant application process.

To find active or current grantfunding opportunities from Uncle Sam, go to www.grants.gov, which gives you daily funding announcements on money you can apply for now, provided your organization is an eligible grant applicant.
