Many of the following federal government agencies have grant programs. Others listed here are useful sources of information in preparing grant proposals. This list is quasi alphabetical. Federal Departments, e.g. The United States Department of Commerce are listed under most specific word (e.g. Commerce). However, well known offices, bureaus, services, etc. are listed on their own, (e.g. IRS). The following links are for informational purposes only; they are here in order to give you an idea of the types of funding opportunities available. In order to be consistent in our government relations efforts, please contact our office first if there is an organization on this list to which you would like to apply.
