Grants.gov

Grants.gov is the forerunner in information on government funding opportunities. It was established as part of the President's 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to improve government services to the public. Grants.gov contains information on over 1000 grant programs awarding approximately 400 billions dollars annually.

There are many different types of organizations that are eligible to apply for these grants; government, education, public housing and non-profit organizations. With some restrictions even for profit organizations and individuals can apply.
