A grant is a sum of money given by an organization for a specific purpose that does not have to be repaid. The purpose of this report is to describe two of the grant data resources. The federal grant reservoir provides a listing of available federal grant money and the qualifications that must be met. Federal grants exist to provide funding for projects that provide public services and stimulate economic growth. Grants are one of the many forms of federal financial assistance and are used to support critical recovery initiatives, research and many other causes.

The pros of receiving federal or state grants and some private charitable foundation include providing free technical assistance. The federal grants encompass large funds that can support the mission of the CHC with access to a large network of multiple partners, resources and guidance (Stombaugh, 2016). The cons of receiving grants include; the complexity of the grant applications especially the federal types when compared to private foundations due to red tape. The drawback of grant funding is increased oversight and monitoring of how funds are spent and whether results achieved matched those promises (Stombaugh, 2016). Although private organization, community foundations provide smaller grants; they may have simplicity in process of grant applications for eligible applicants and they may provide technical assistance through hotline and
During the mid 1960s Grant was determined to modify its strategy and align itself in a different section of the market. One aspect of this strategy was to rapidly expand into suburban shopping centers and on the other hand, Grant also wanted to modify its product line (product mix). This rapid expansion required Grant to increase their physical store space to accommodate new items in their existing stores, in addition to an overall change in product mix (including larger items such as furniture and appliances). Not only did they have to increase their existing store space, they also needed to sequester new properties (which they did via long-term lease agreements) in suburban areas in order

In an effort to address the youth and child poverty issues, the local government created the Child Poverty Prevention Council fund in 2008, its purpose and its goal to present and establish “programs which will reduce child poverty in the state by 50% over the next 10 years” (Child Poverty Prevention Council for Louisiana, 2009). This council is comprised of 19 member organizations that represent the state legislature, the state executive agencies, businesses and labor groups, higher education institutions, and New Orleans professional advocacy groups. The outline of the priority stages of action to tackle the child poverty within the city are improving birth outcome, early childhood education initiatives, strengthening disadvantaged youth connections to school and work, and raising the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) from 3.5% 27 percent of the Federal EITC amount.

Categorical Grants: Categorical grants are defined as Federal grants for specific purposes, such as building an airport. In other words, categorial grants are the federal grants of money that require the money to be spent on one single project. Categorical grants allow for guidance on what the money is to be spent on. The federal government has more control over the money and what it is to be spent on. Due to this other aspects of the state government are not improved on due to the funds not being able to be put into other categorical programs or projects that are needed. The state government has to somewhat pay back what money the federal government gave them and this is why the amounts given are small amounts of money. An example of categorical grants is when money is to be put into school lunch programs and not to be spent on books or supplies for the

Through its affiliate offices, ARCF makes grants from affiliate fundraising and endowments. ARCF awards Giving Tree and Black Hall of Fame Grants and the Arkansas Delta Endowment for Building Community. The Arkansas Delta Endowment for Building Community is funded through a gift from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. MMWEC would be a good fit for the Arkansas Delta Endowment Building Program and the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame Grant. Because WRF MMWEC plans to launch in several communities in Arkansas with a focus on the most marginalized, our state’s capital, and the Arkansas Delta, we are in a position to apply for funding through each of the counties we serve for the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame grants. This will allow us to customize the funding needs based on our needs assessment of each county. The Arkansas Delta Endowment for Building Community focuses on delta counties in Arkansas, which are some our launch priority counties. This grant will be a good fit for MMWEC as our program accomplishes each of the desired goals of the grant: improving the conditions of people and families in the Arkansas Delta, building local capacity and infrastructure in the Arkansas Delta and foster networks and

The Federal Register was created in 1935 by then president Franklin D. Roosevelt and is essentially a newspaper which gives daily information to the public information about the availability of federal funding (Relyea, 2011). It provides “administrative regulations, rules, and orders, and greater transparency in the creations of such law.” concerning federal agencies (Relyea, 2011). The Federal Register gives the public information on hundreds of grant programs from several different agencies and according to the Grants.gov website, awards “over $500 billion” each year (About Grants.gov, n.d). This organization also contains information on executive orders, and proposed rules and regulations (About Grants.gov, n.d). Like The Foundation Center, the Federal Register provides all possible information into one place which is beneficial to those seeking funding.
Chapter one helped clarify grant terminology that I may run into while conducting grant research and filling out grant applications. I found this useful because I now have a better understanding of what certain grants are looking for and the grant language that is needed. This chapter also helped me learn how to set up a plan for keeping track of the grants I am working on and helped set up the process. The second chapter goes over how to create and complete funding plans for each grant. It stresses that without a plan it is difficult to have a successful grant process. This chapter has useful suggestions on what to look for within an organization to decide where funding is needed. The third
