Grants.gov

Grants.gov is the electronic storefront for Federal grants. It is part of the E-Grants project which will:  

• Produce a simple, unified "storefront" for all customers of Federal grants to electronically find opportunities, apply, and manage grants
• Facilitate the quality, coordination, effectiveness, and efficiency of operations for grant makers and grant recipients.  

This combination of customer-facing vision and Federal internal improvement, as defined by the consensus of the grant-making agencies, provides a solid foundation for the efforts of the E-Grant initiative.
