Finding Funding Sources.
- InfoEd (SPIN) is a good starting point for research on funding agencies.
- The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) the primary source of information on federal grants and nonfinancial assistance programs. Actual funding depends upon annual budget appropriations. For example, some authorized federal programs may be described in the Catalog but Congress may choose not to fund them in a certain budget year.
Once a program is identified in CFDA, for current notices of funding availability and to apply, see Grants.gov (below). - Grants.gov After grantseekers identify federal programs in CFDA, they may be directed to the website Grants.gov to apply for federal grants when application announcements for competitive grants become available.

990-PF Finding Tools
Every private foundation operating in the United States is required to submit a 990-PF form to the IRS each year. This form provides fiscal data for the foundation, names of trustees and officers, application information, and a complete grants list. While some larger foundations may produce annual reports and post information on the web, the overwhelming majority do not. For smaller and medium sized foundations, the 990-PF may be the only free source where one can find such grant lists.
