Federal
Finding Federal Grant Programs
Trying to find the right program in the realm of grants and government funding can feel overwhelming at times. To sort through the federal grant programs, the authoritative source is the Assistance Listings section of the new site: SAM.gov (formerly CFDA). This catalog lists all of the available funding programs to all levels of government, nonprofit organizations, for-profit businesses, and other eligible entities.
Another option is to search grants within Grants.gov, which provides grant and cooperative agreement opportunities from federal agencies. To view these opportunities select Search Grants to search, filter, and apply for specific opportunities to receive funding from one of these programs.
