Finding and applying for Federal grants has never been more streamlined or consistent. --------------------------------------- Whatever type of grant interests you, Grants.gov is the ideal entry point for state, local, nonprofit, and tribal governments, academic institutions, research organizations, non-profit organizations and all other eligible entities seeking Federal discretionary grant opportunities. --------------------------------------- Grants.gov is a direct link from the desk of the grant maker to the desk of the grant seeker. Its design and interface features make it centralized, searchable, easy to access, and easy to use. --------------------------------------- Both eligible applicants and Federal grant making agencies are able to reduce expenses and save time by eliminating traditional paper-based processes. The application process has been simplified with downloadable forms, auto-populated data fields, error checks, email notifications and online support. -------------------------------------- As an authorized Federal grant applicant, you can create one secure registration profile with the Federal government and with Grants.gov.
