How can my faith-based or community organization find out about Federal grants?

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has prepared a list of general information about nearly 100 programs operated by the Departments of Justice, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Education.

The HHS Center for Faith-Based and Community Organizations provides links to grant opportunities that are available to faith-based and community organizations:

• Opportunities for Faith-Based and Community Organizations at the State and Local Levels
• Current Federal Funding Opportunities

You can search for all Federal funding opportunities at Grants.gov. You can also apply for a grant from this site.

You can also use the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, or CFDA, as a resource to learn about:

• Types of Assistance
• Applying for Assistance
• Writing Grant Proposals
