Whether you're researching federal grants, seeking a letter of support for a federal grant application, or simply interested in learning more about the federal grant process, my office is ready and willing to assist you.

Where available, federal grants are awarded on a competitive basis in support of certain goals authorized by Congress. Federal agencies and departments administer hundreds of these grant programs; however, a substantial amount of federal grant funding is also disbursed to state governments, which then use the funding to administer grant programs at the state level. So, in addition to researching federal grants, I highly recommend that you ask your state senator or representative about state-level grant programs.
