Grant Programs
Every year many agencies and organizations, including the Department
of Homeland Security, make grant money available to individuals or
groups to develop valuable programs, fund equipment or provide
assistance after disasters or other emergencies. Knowing where to
look to find grant opportunities in a timely manner and
understanding how to write good grant proposals are both essential
components in any successful effort at taking advantage of the
millions of dollars being made available. This page contains some
suggested sources for finding federal grants as well as
resources that can help educate or clarify the
grant writing process.
