This guide focuses on resources that cover many different sources of funding primarily for individuals including grants, fellowships, and scholarships.

• Federal aid to...
• Grants-in-aid
• Research grants
• Proposal writing in... OR Proposal writing for...

Before you start looking for funding sources, it may help to ask yourself the follow questions:

• Who or what is the grant-seeking entity?  For example, is it an individual, an organization, a business?
• What will the grant money be used to fund?  For example, for education/tuition, an art project, research, travel expenses, etc.?
• Is the entity and/or purpose for the money domestic or international?

The Foundation Center provides a quick and easy guide to identifying types of funding for different needs based on the above questions.

Individual grantseekers can obtain additional information by exploring Foundation Center's FAQs and/or consulting their topical resource lists. 

If you specifically seek funding for a research project, please consult Foundation Center's Guide to Funding Research.
