Government Grants Overview

Grants are made by all levels of government. The good news: To ensure fairness, the government is required to make grant information available to the public. Most levels of government will probably have this information on the Internet. The bad news: There is no one-stop place where you can get information on all the different levels of government. It will be a time-consuming process to research the different grants offered by all of the different agencies within the government.

Government Grants: Federal Grants

We recommend a directory called Guide to Federal Funding for Governments and Nonprofits by Thompson Publishing Group that includes twice-monthly Federal Grant Deadline Calendars. Information about the book is online at www.thompson.com/libraries/grantseeking/fits/index.html.
