Looking For Federal Grants?
Help is On the Way
Within the next few weeks, the federal government will be conducting a survey regarding the process of applying for federal grants. The research is funded through the Department of Health and Human Services, but concerns all agencies to which your organization may apply for grants. The purpose of the research project is to assess the needs and challenges in finding grant opportunities and submitting grant applications, and awareness and opinions of various grant systems. Your feedback will help in efforts to improve the processes in place across the federal government. Who should participate? YOU, if you have any involvement in federal grants, including researching opportunities, writing applications, filling out forms, submitting applications and maintaining IT systems. In addition, we encourage you to invite your members and colleagues to participate. The commitment time is estimated at about 15 minutes. We appreciate your willingness to help with this study. GuideStar supports this effort because we believe the results will lead to better grant processes for you and all nonprofits. Watch for more information soon regarding how to participate in the survey. back to top
