U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer's Grants Outreach Newsletter

Senator Boxer`s November Grants Outreach Newsletter  

Monday, November 2, 2009  

 

The summary of federal funding announcements brought to you by the Office of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer is a service that aims to advise Californians of various grant opportunities offered by federal grant-making agencies. The summary for November 2009 includes 32 new or updated opportunities in th folleowing areas:


With the increased interest in federal grants, some constituents may have seen or heard media advertisements claiming federal grants are available to help them. However, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, cautions grantseekers that these “money for nothing” grant offers are often misleading and cautions consumers to be aware of paying “processing fees” for information that is available free to the public. To learn more about possible grant scams, please visit the following website: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.shtm

Since not all federal grant-making agencies list grant opportunities each month, constituents are encouraged to visit grants.gov, the federal grants web site that allows users to electronically find and apply for current competitive grant opportunities from all 26 federal grant-making agencies. In addition, users may sign up for email updates to receive new grant postings via email as soon as they become available.

Guide deadlines and guidelines may change. Please check with the awarding agency before applying.

We encourage you to visit the Grants Assistance section of Senator Boxer’s website to learn the latest news regarding funding opportunities offered through our nation’s federal grant-making agencies, including those specific to H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). To view the latest information regarding ARRA’s impact in California, please visit the following website: http://www.recovery.ca.gov/
