Grants.gov is a government website where federal agencies post information about direct federal grants opportunities, referred to as "Funding Opportunity Announcements" (FOA) or "Request for Proposals" (RFP). Grants.gov is also a source for information about application packages, as well as required forms that nonprofits upload via the site, once completed.
Grants.gov also offers two other resources: Grants.gov Learning Center and Grants.gov Community Blog, that can help those new to government grants understand the policies and procedures of the grant lifecycle, proper grant management, and accurate terminology. The learning center and blog provide valuable information for nonprofits that do not have agreements directly with a federal agency, but are instead subrecipients of federal funds (which is the status of most nonprofits with government grants or contracts). Even those more experienced with government grants will benefit from information provided on these websites that report changes in policies and procedures established through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) relating to the Uniform Guidance.
