I am committed to helping my constituents understand the federal grant process and locate federal grant dollars. I have provided assistance and support to many local communities, businesses and organizations in their efforts to win federal grants. My Detroit office has sponsored several grant workshops for nonprofit organizations seeking information on the grant process.

This section contains important information to help you find the programs and resources that might benefit your organization. Once you have identified the program most appropriate for your use and would like my support for your proposal, please contact my regional office serving your area. To find that office, go to the In Michigan page and enter your county in the drop down box. My staff in that regional office will be able to assist you.
