Locating External Funding Sources

Locating and researching grant funding at the federal, state, or local level is a multifaceted process. A grant seeker must note and adhere to eligibility requirements, regulations, and policies associated with requests for proposals.

Here are a few websites that provide grant funding sources at the federal, state, and local levels while also supplying links to other relevant sources:

• The Federal Register lists all requests for proposals
• E-Grants provide federal sources and links
• FirstGov provides federal, state and local funding sources
• The homepage for the state of Florida
• Miami-Dade County grants site

Here are some sources describing laws, policies, and procedures for submitting grants:

• The Florida State Clearinghouse circulates applications for federal activities to government agencies that have statutory authority over some part of the activity.
• The General Services Administration provides laws and regulations concerning grants.
