General Grant Information

What is a grant?

Grants are sums of money awarded by federal agencies and various organizations to finance a particular activity or facility. The federal government provides grant funding in four categories:

  • Formula Funding are allocations of money to states or localities in accordance with distribution formulas prescribed by law for activities of a continuing nature not confined to a specific project.
  • Project Grants fund specific projects for fixed periods.  I can be of great assistance in securing funding.
  • Direct Payments for Specified Use are a form of federal funding assistance provided directly to individuals, private firms, and other private institutions to encourage or subsidize a particular activity.
  • Direct Payments with Unrestricted Use are a form of federal funding assistance provided directly to beneficiaries who satisfy federal eligibility requirements with no restrictions on how money is spent.

How to write a grant?

The grant application is the responsibility of the applicant.  Individual applicants should tailor their grant application to their individual needs of the project.
