Government grant opportunities are easy to find since every agency lists its open grant competitions on its website.
Grants from all agencies can be found at Grants.gov, now the federal government’s official grants portal.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance also lists all federal grants. It can be found here.
Both of these online directories feature a search for grants by topic.
Federal agencies’ grant pages show open grant competitions and provide additional resources for the grantwriter. Click on any of the following to go to the grant site:
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of Environmental Protection
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
Smaller and Quasi-governmental Agencies
Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives
Corporation for National and Community Service
National Endowment for the Arts
National Endowment for the Humanities
Library of Congress Foundation
We decided whenever we talk about locating grants and resources for writing grant proposals, we will include the Grant Institute Resources page. This site has a wealth of information.
In future postings, we’ll provide information about finding private foundation and state grants.
