Читать книгу Grant Writing For Dummies - Stan Hutton, Beverly A. Browning - Страница 69

At the local government level (county, town, village, township, hamlet, and city), look for public monies at the County Board of Commissioners, local Area Agencies on Aging, the Mayor’s Office on Neighborhoods (or a similar Federal Community Development Block Grant administrator), regional housing authorities (they subgrant for neighborhood-based services), your county-based department of social services, and more. All these agencies receive direct funding from state agencies and federal pass-through funding for re-granting purposes at the local level (more on pass-through funding in the following section).

Because not all funding opportunities are posted on websites that are easy to find, you want to develop connections with agency representatives to find out the inside scoop. Also, ask questions of local elected officials and track down these publicly available grant funds. Be aggressive in asking questions about what funds are available, who can apply, and who the contract person is for the agency re-granting the monies.
