Can anyone give me information on writeing a grant? |
I need to learn more information on writeing a grant for a non profit organization. We are a historical enrichment socitey, I am positive there is money and information out there but I dont know where to look. Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations. The best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription. If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. CFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/catalo... As for grant writing sources check out these sites Teaching Yourself to be a Grantwriter http://www.grantproposal.com/starting_in... Minnesota Council on Foundations Writing a Successful Grant Proposal http://www.mcf.org/mcf/grant/writing.htm... American Association of Grant Professionals http://www.grantprofessionals.org... Non profit Guides http://www.npguides.org/ GrantExperts.com http://www.grantexperts.com Association of Fund Raising Professionals http://www.afpnet.org/ Foundation Center http://foundationcenter.org/getstarted/l...

Go on www.usa.gov and they have a link where you can sign up for "free grant writing workshops" also check with your city government and they will know when or where you can attend those workshops. Good luck!!!! |
