How to Find Public & Private Grants
The federal
government offers millions in grants to individuals and organizations annually.
Your local city, state and county government often has grants that support the
arts, recreation, education, activities for youth and even senior citizens. Corporations
like American Express and Verizon are also reliable sources of grants that
support the missions of large and small nonprofit organizations. America's private
foundations also provide millions to help communities improve heath, education,
job training and even carte for pets, among other activities.
Finding these
grants would be easy if all the information was conveniently stored in one
central location. In addition, the application procedures and deadlines vary, according
to the grantor's schedule. People who need funds for an organization,
individuals that want to study abroad, people who work from home, and others will often start at the
Foundation Center. They publish an annual directory of funding opportunities
for individuals and organizations. Libraries in major cities usually have at
least one copy of this directory for the public to use. Unfortunately, it is a
reference book that can't be checked out. So, you'll need to camp out at the
library for quite a few days in order to complete your grant finding quest.
You've
probably seen numerous advertisements for directories of free federal grants,
especially for small businesses. However, the federal government does not publish
such a directory. Information about federal grants is published as necessary in
the Federal Register. Until the advent of the Internet, the only way to access
this publication was also at libraries or by subscription. With your Internet connection and mouse, you can
save money on gas and improve the return on investment of your time. You don't
need to pay for free grant information. Federal, state, local governments and
foundation websites, numerous organizations make information about public and
private grants accessible free.
