Trying to Navigate Federal Stimulus Fund Information?
Many nonprofits across the country are trying to find specific information on federal, state, and local grant opportunities under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Here are some tips that update some of the information in VANNO's Special Reports (see below):
- If you have received block grant funds or other support from your state or local governments, start with them by visiting their websites or calling. Here's the official Recovery.gov link to basic information at the state level.
- If you are considering applying for a federal grant, this link to the federal department recovery sites enables you to focus on likely sources of federal funds for your programs, and review what federal departments are saying about grant programs they are administering.
- The www.grants.gov website is the portal for all applications. If you want to consider applying for federal grants, registration is the key first step. Take time to become familiar with all the search tools for grants - including a specific one to recovery funds - and the tips and tools the site offers for applicants.
- To read grant descriptions and deadlines, go to www.VANNO.org and download the list. Additionally, as part of Stimulus. Virginia.gov's transition to a disclosure and transparency website, users may now sign up for email updates related to Virginia's economic recovery efforts and implementation of the ARRA. Go to www.stimulus.virginia.gov.
