1) Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance website (for first time grant applicants) - The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance website could provide you with a general overview of the grants for which you might be eligible for.

We often hear of federal grants and how they can help make our lives better. Well, they actually do, make our lives better. But instead of assisting our personal financial needs such as personal debts and rent payment, federal grants intend to make our lives better by innovating solutions to the problems in the community and the society. |

3) Prepare to submit an application - The government has emphasized over and over that submitting an application for a grant should not cost you even a penny. The government will not charge any application fees but will require you to obtain the following information:
a) Obtain a DUNS number - The federal government policy stipulates that anyone who is doing business with the federal government should obtain a DUNS number from the Dun & Bradstreet website at www.dnb.com.
b) Register with Central Contractor Registration - The federal government policy also stipulates that anyone who is doing business with the federal government should obtain a CCR number from the Central Contractor Registration website at www.ccr.gov.
4) Procure the necessary documents - The federal policy requires grant seekers to submit documents such as a Statement of Intent, List of References, and List of Accomplishments. All of this documents should not from a personal friend of the applicant but should come from a professional who can attest to a person's qualifications.
