Check out www.dummies.com/extras/grantwriting for three simple ways you can improve your chances of finding grant funding opportunities.
In this part. . .
- Begin your search for public sector funds with your local or state government. Aim for bigger bucks by applying for funds from one of the 26 federal grant-making agencies.
- Become best friends with the main federal e-grant portal, Grants.gov, in order to find critical funding opportunities and submit applications.
- Browse online grant databases to identify private sector funding opportunities and figure out whether your organization fits a funder’s organizational, geographic, and programming criteria so you don’t pursue an opportunity that’s not realistic.
- Understand the types of individual and for-profit business grants available. Dispel infomercial-based myths and discover what’s really out there for you or your organization.
- Locate the grants set aside for organizations that provide programs and/or services outside the United States, and follow the rules of the international funder you’re applying to.
