Help With Federal Grants
U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) | Official Online Office
Assisting Louisiana institutions, non-profit organizations, and municipalities
locate and compete successfully for federal grant funding is a priority for
me as your Senator. Constituents requesting assistance with grants may approach
my office at varying stages throughout their search for federal funding.
Potential applicants may have an idea for a project that they feel deserves
the support of federal funding and are searching for the appropriate place
to apply. My staff can help research the complicated web of federal grants
to discover if a grant possibility exists that meets the specific need.
Potential applicants may have already identified a federal grant for which
they are planning to apply and are seeking the Senator's written support for
their application. In this instance, applicants should submit a written request
along with a draft support letter to the Senator's office.
Potential applicants may have already applied for a federal grant, but are
having difficulty checking on the status of their application. The Senator's
staff can inquire with the relevant agency to answer any questions.
*Often I am contacted by small businesses across Louisiana seeking start-up
or operational capitol. Unfortunately, the federal government is not able to
provide assistance to these businesses in the form of a grant. Low interest
loans may be available, however, from the Small Business Administration.
Grants.gov simplifies the grants management process and creates a centralized,
online process to find and apply for over 900 grant programs from the 26 Federal
grant-making agencies. Grants.gov streamlines the process of awarding over $360
billion annually to state and local governments, academia, not-for-profits and
other organizations. This program is one of the 24 Federal cross-agency E-Government
initiatives focused on improving access to services via the Internet. The vision
for Grants.gov is to produce a simple, unified source to electronically find,
apply, and manage grant opportunities. [Grants.GOV]
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance provides a comprehensive listing
of federal grants with program descriptions and contact information for convenient
searching. This catalog can be accessed at local libraries or via the Internet [CDFA
