Thank you for visiting the grants section of my website. The
federal government provides many resources such as grants, loans, and
technical assistance to foster community and economic development. I
strongly encourage you to research and utilize these resources in an
effort to support prosperous and sustainable communities in Nebraska's
Third District.
This site is intended to provide direct links to information on federal
