  Question
  How can my faith-based or community organization find out about Federal grants?
  Answer
  The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has prepared a list of general information about nearly 100 programs operated by the Departments of Justice, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Education. The list – which is available in the brochure Federal Funding Opportunities for Organizations that Help Those in Need and at www.fbci.gov – includes programs from these agencies that are of interest to small, grassroots groups. Use this list as a starting point to find about opportunities that may interest you.

Once you find a program that interests you, you can get more information about when and how you can apply for funds from the agency contact in the listing. You can also use the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, or CFDA, as a resource. To use the CFDA, locate the CFDA number from the information provided in the list in Federal Funding Opportunities for Organizations that Help Those in Need. Enter that number into the “program number” box on the CFDA’s web site at http://www.cfda.gov/public/faprs.htm.
