    Finding The Grant That Fits Your Project

    When seeking grants, you’re looking for funds to meet a specific need. That need can help you decide what steps to take.

    Grant Shopping Basics

    There’s a lot to keep in mind as you evaluate potential grantors: the amount of funding they have available, the maximum and minimum award amounts, the grant deadline, whether they require a letter of intent from you, reporting and evaluation requirements, and partnership requirements.

    When and Who

    As you evaluate the potential grants available to you, naturally you’ll want to stay ahead of funding deadlines to keep your options open. Evaluate each potential funding source by how much your project will cost, and which grants can address it.

    Where The Grants Are

    Once you’ve identified the type of grant you need, it’s time to search for it. Places to look include:

    • Your state Department of Education website
    • U.S. Department of Education: ed.gov
    • Federal Government grant competitions: grants.gov/
    • Foundations: https://candid.org/?fcref=lr
    • To set up Google Alerts: https://www.google.com/alerts

    Help From a Specialist

    With so much to watch for, a dedicated service such as Grant Assist can be an immense help in your search. Its experience in seeking grants takes the guesswork out of looking for grants, qualifying for the right one, and writing the grant application (which they’ll often do at no cost to you). A great place to start your search is with Grant Assist’s online Grant Finder Tool.
