For some, finding grants can be more challenging than the grant application itself. One of the best resources you can utilize is a grant service, such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GrantWatch.com<\/a>. A grant listing directory or database can often help you find grants that you (or your organization) may be eligible for. While it is still up to you to filter through these grant results, at least you&#8217;ll have a narrowed-down field of where to look and the legwork is far less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it&#8217;s important to understand how a grant application works. Each grant has a different application process. Some applications are simple and can be completed without the need for a grant writer. Typically, however, larger grants require a more extensive application process. We recommend hiring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/should-you-hire-a-grant-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grant write<\/a>r if you are not comfortable completing the grant application process yourself or do not have one in-house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant funders award grants. There are two main funding types that you should be aware of: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/how-to-apply-for-government-grants\/\" target=\"_blank\">government grants <\/a>and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/foundation-grants.php\" target=\"_blank\">foundation grants<\/a>. <br \/>\u2022\u00a0Government grants includes grant opportunities from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grants.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">federal<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benefits.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">state<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/local-grants.php\" target=\"_blank\">local<\/a> governments. <br \/>\u2022\u00a0On the other hand, Foundation grants are by private foundations, which make up over 70% of all grant funding available. <br \/>Knowing <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/how-to-increase-your-chances-of-being-awarded-a-grant\/\" target=\"_blank\">how to increase your chances of being awarded a grant<\/a>, can help with the overall outcome, as there is no guarantee that you will be awarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Find Grants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GrantWatch Tutorial for Free Members\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xTSPLyH8cjE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GrantWatch.com<\/a> allows you to preview all grant opportunities before joining as a premium member.
