Open Grants

The President's Faith-Based and Community Initiative is about leveling the playing field so that all grassroots organizations have equal opportunity to participate in existing federally funded programs as they serve their communities.

DOL usually publishes SGAs in the spring and occasionally in the fall and summer. DOL's grants generally focus on providing job-training and employment services and helping people enter employment, retain employment, and increase wages. All federal grant opportunities are announced in the Federal Register and www.grants.gov. Organizations that register at www.grants.gov can apply online.

If you would like to be notified by CFBCI about funding opportunities, publications, and events when they become available, please sign up for our e-mail updates and take advantage of our FREE subscription service.

You can also review Open Grants from Other Federal Agencies and Previous Grants.
