FEDERAL GRANTS

“While my office cannot help you apply directly to grants and private funding, I
want to provide you with the resources you might need. I hope that these
resources help you to access the funding your organization or community need to
make a difference, whether it is federal grants, loans, and nonfinancial
assistance for projects, or private funding.”

– Rep. Adam Schiff


HOW TO BEST FIND INFORMATION

Find out who is Eligible for a Grant? Other government websites may be more
suitable for personal needs, student loans, or small business assistance. The
website Government Benefits, Grants, and Financial Aid may also be of help.

If eligible, search for program information among System for Award Management
listings. Includes grants, loans, business and nonfinancial help.

Go to federal websites given in each CFDA program description for more
information and for state administering agencies responsible for managing these
programs.

Check current federal grants opportunities at Grants.gov, obtain a Dun and
Bradstreet ( DUNS) number, register with System for Award Management (SAM), and
apply online (links and instructions given at the website). Additional notices
appear at FedConnect.net.

Search foundations for project funding: use Candid’s website (formerly known as
the Foundation Center) to identify national, state, and community foundations.



Learn how to write grant proposals: Resources include the free online

California Single Points of Contact  (Office of Management and Budget)



Under Executive Order 12372, some states require federal grants applicants to
submit a copy of their application for state government level review and

often a scam.
