Federal grants

Government grants, in plain English.

A grant is money the government awards for a purpose, such as a community program, research, or training. You apply for it. You do not bid, and you do not pay it back.

Check who can apply

Every grant names the kinds of applicants it is open to. Many are for nonprofits, schools and governments. Fewer are for businesses.

You apply on Grants.gov

Each grant here links to its official listing, where the full instructions and the application are.

An organization needs a government registration before it can apply. See what that takes.
