GRANTS and FEDERAL FUNDING

Below is a list of helpful links for receiving federal funding for a project. While these links will hopefully be of assistance, if you are looking to receive federal funding for a program or project, please contact one of my offices. My staff is trained to assist organizations, local governments and individuals in navigating the process of receiving grants and funding, and they look forward to helping you any way they can.
