Conducting a federal funding search
ОглавлениеThankfully, the federal government aids your federal funding search with its one-stop grant opportunity information website, Grants.gov (www.grants.gov
). Visiting this site is the quickest way to conduct a federal funding search.
After you log on to Grants.gov, choose Grant Opportunities from the Search drop-down. Then type your search terms in the Keyword(s) Search field. Sample keywords include “after school,” “capacity building,” “rural telecommunications,” and “prevention.” Your search should produce a list of federal grant opportunity announcements that contain your keyword(s). Simply click each one to read the announcement and determine whether it fits your specific funding needs.
You may want to search Grants.gov on a weekly or monthly basis because the federal government releases new grant opportunity announcements daily (except for federal holidays). Or simply sign up for Grants.gov alerts under Manage Subscriptions (in the upper-right corner of the homepage) to get free alerts by email.
