Researching Grantfunding Opportunities

IN THIS PART …

Begin your search for public-sector funds with your local or state government. Aim for bigger bucks by applying for funds from one of the 26 federal grantmaking agencies. Create a grantfunding plan.

Become best friends with the main federal e-grant portal, Grants.gov, in order to find critical funding opportunities and submit applications.

Explore online grant databases to identify private-sector funding opportunities and figure out whether your organization fits a funder’s organizational, geographic, and programming criteria so you don’t pursue an opportunity that’s not realistic.

Understand the types of legitimate individual and for-profit business grants available. Dispel infomercial-based myths, and discover what’s really out there for you or your organization.

Peruse grants for academia and fellowships to identify funders for research projects in higher education.

Locate the grants set aside for organizations that provide programs and/or services outside the United States and follow the rules of the international funder you’re applying to.
