For nonprofits
The government pays organizations to run training, counseling, outreach and community programs. A nonprofit can bid on that work.
You can bid
A nonprofit can respond to a federal contract like any other organization, once it is registered to work with the government.
Skip the set-asides
Contracts set aside for small, veteran-owned or woman-owned businesses are for for-profit companies. This page leaves those out.
Work that fits
Every bid here was read and picked as the kind of work nonprofits do. Always confirm the details on the official notice.
Looking for grants too?
Contracts are one way the government funds nonprofits. Grants are the other. 546 open federal grants take applications from nonprofits right now.
