Millions of dollars in grants are awarded each year for programs and projects that benefit the public. This assistance is rooted in the Constitution and its call to "promote the general Welfare."

Financial Assistance

We have all seen them; late night infomercials, websites, and reference guides, advertising "millions in free money". Don't believe the hype! Although there are many funding opportunities on here, few of them are available to individuals and none of them are available for personal financial assistance.
Individuals
Individual people may submit applications for a funding opportunity on their own behalf (i.e., not on behalf of a company, organization, institution, or government). If you are registered with only an individual applicant profile, you are only allowed to apply to funding opportunities that are open to individuals.
Most of the funding opportunities are for organizations and individuals.
Foreign Applicants
The authorizing legislation and agency policies will determine whether a foreign individual or organization may apply for the grant. Foreign applicants need to complete the same registration process as domestic applicants, but there are additional steps to this registration process.
Depending on the intended usage of the grant you are applying for, you may need to file a tax return which requires a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), also referred to as an employer Identification Number (EIN). If a non-resident alien is awarded funding to perform activities outside the United States, then this likely does not constitute source income and a TIN/EIN is not necessary. Examples of such funding include scholarships, fellowship grants, targeted grants, and achievement awards.
Who is Eligible?
Determining whether you are eligible to apply for and receive a grant is very important.
When considering eligibility, the first step is to know what type of organization you represent (or whether you are applying as an individual). If you already know whether you will apply on behalf of your organization or as an individual, then you are ready to check your eligibility.
In this case, you can apply to receive grants from us. From there, we can use their personal information as a confirmation form to ensure you are eligible for the grants. It is also best that they pay a certain amount of money as an application fee for their applications to be considered.
Grace Period
A grace period may be created at the grant-making agency's discretion to extend the application submission period. This period reflects the number of days after the closing date that Grants.gov will continue to accept applications for a grant opportunity, for example, an agency might include a grace period to accept revised applications. It also represents the day (Closing Date + Grace Period) that applicants will no longer be able to download the application package. This value is entered by an agency when creating a grant opportunity and is not visible to grant applicants.
The grants management solutions developed by The Grants Center of Excellence (COE) serve both grant-making agencies as well as applicants and award recipients.
A registered applicant user who submits applications on their own behalf. Individuals sign the grant application and its associated certifications and assurances that are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the application process.
Policy Formation
Since the 1970's, subsequent grant-related legislation has helped to further develop grant policy. It works much like it did in 1977 and 1978: Congress creates the grant-related laws and regulations.
The Executive Office of the President – of which OMB is part – helps to implement the laws through Executive Orders and Guidance that define administrative rules.
Finally, the grant-making agencies create internal and external policies and procedures based on the OMB guidance. These agency-specific policies for award recipients do not carry the weight of law, though they may be required of award recipients if they are listed in the Notice of Award.
