Grants.gov serves as a comprehensive, free online resource for exploring and applying to over 1,000 federal grant programs, offering access to approximately $500 billion in awards annually.
To engage with this platform, a grant proposal writer can initiate the process by registering through the completion of a standard business profile, representing an individual, nonprofit organization, research institution, or a similar entity. Subsequently, the writer is required to submit an authorized organization representative application, designate an e-business point of contact, and furnish a detailed application. Upon completing these steps, the writer gains access to a wealth of resources, including the ability to discover federal grant opportunities, submit applications, track grants, and receive email alerts, webinar schedules, and valuable tips from grantors.
