Thank you for contacting my office for information concerning federal grant funding.  Federal funding assistance is a crucial element for businesses, schools, non-profit groups and state and local governments as they attempt to serve the needs and improve the lives of all Arkansans.

You may have written grants numerous times before or this may be your first attempt.  I have included some basic grant-writing information that will help you become more familiar with the process.  There is an abundance of information included in this packet including:

• Introduction to the Grant Application Process

• The different sources of grant funding
• Key Federal Funding Sources
